The
Phillips Foundation
Ronald Reagan Future Leaders Scholarship Program
In
the summer of 1999, The Phillips Foundation announced the establishment
of its annual Future Leaders Program (renamed the Ronald Reagan Future
Leaders Program effective academic year 2002-03) featuring renewable
scholarships to college undergraduates who demonstrate leadership on
behalf of the cause of freedom, American values and constitutional
principles. The program pays tribute to President Ronald Reagan in
recognition of his achievements on behalf of freedom, American values
and constitutional principles, his optimism about America's future, and
his faith in America's youth to protect and enhance the legacy of
liberty entrusted to them. The Foundation awarded $259,000 in new and
renewed scholarships in academic year 2004-2005 in amounts of $7,500,
$5,000, $2,500 and $1,000.
The Ronald Reagan Future Leaders Scholarship Program seeks to recognize outstanding young people
who are promoting American values on college campuses. The scholarships are designed to alleviate
the financial burdens associated with higher education, permitting the winners to devote more time
both to pursuing their academic goals and advancing their leadership initiatives.
Applications are now being accepted for the Ronald Reagan Future Leaders Scholarship Program for
academic year 2005-06. They must be postmarked by January 15,
2005. Applicants must be U.S.
citizens enrolled full-time in good standing at any accredited, four-year degree-granting
institution in the United States or its territories. Applicants may apply for the Ronald Reagan
Future Leaders Scholarship Program during their sophomore year. Winners will receive the scholarship
for their junior year and may apply for renewal before their senior year. While sophomores are
preferred, juniors may also apply for a one-time award for the senior year. Students attending
two-year schools may apply as juniors for a one-time scholarship for the senior year upon transfer
to a four-year institution. Applicants will be asked to submit an essay of 500 to 750 words
describing their backgrounds, career objectives and scope of participation in leadership activities
promoting freedom, American values and constitutional principles. Although the program is merit-based
rather than need-based, The Phillips Foundation will take into consideration evidence of financial
need.
