Hartford Promise: College Scholarship

Nothing changes the trajectory of low-income students more than a college education.  

Hartford Promise is a large-scale College Scholarship and College Success Program for Hartford Public School students.  Promise Scholars attending an accredited four-year college or university will receive up to $100,000 from Hartford Promise and our partners, the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving.

More than 70% of Hartford students are low-income and many are the first in their family to go to college.  The Hartford Promise Scholarship is a game changer - it not only helps students afford college, but also provides the key supports and services to help them succeed once they are there.
