Approximately 20 Phillips Scholarships for up to $9,000 each are awarded every year on the basis of a competitive written application and committee interview.

Electronic applications are accepted in the fall and due to the Office of Scholarships and Student Aid by October 15 for travel to begin in the next calendar year.
