Connecticut Independent College Student Grant

Grants are wonderful – they are free money that doesn’t have to be paid back – ever! This grant award is based on financial need. It is to be used for undergrad study in designated private schools in the state of Connecticut and it is renewable each year.

You must be able to prove financial need for this award. To do this, fill out an Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) application (www.fafsa.ed.gov) on line. No application fee is required. In addition, you will need to complete any paperwork required by the individual colleges. Deadline is based on deadlines set by each college. If you’d like more information about this grant, go to www.ctdhe.org.

Connecticut Aid for Public College Students

This program is overseen by the Connecticut Department of Higher Education, and is designed to help Connecticut residents, who are also US citizens, who are in financial need. Monies awarded may be used at either a 2-year or 4-year college, but use is limited to state public colleges or universities. This award is based on need and is designed to fill the gap between the actual cost of school and the amount the student and parents can pay. In most cases it does not have to be repaid.

Application requires you to fill out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). You can obtain the forms on line at www.fafsa.ed.gov. There is no charge for filing an application. Funds may be awarded multiple times, however, the form must be filled out annually, after January 1st, in the year the funds are needed. Visit www.ctdhe.org for more information.
