"The kids my age in the Hartford area, college is not really on their radar... After they finish high school… that's it for them, and I didn't want to be like that.
I wanted to further my education and see what the modern world had to offer." - JADA JENKINS, PROMISE SCHOLAR |

Our Promise To You
The Promise Scholarship is a very generous award that can be used to cover anything a college bills a student including room and board, fees, tuition, etc, and it can be used at any accredited college or university in the country. |
|
A Last-Dollar Scholarship
The Hartford Promise Award is a last-dollar scholarship, meaning our award covers the gap that remains after all individual grants, financial aid, and other scholarships have been applied to the scholar’s account. This gap can often stop Hartford students from attending college. We are removing that hurdle. |
|
What You Get
Students attending any accredited, not-for-profit 4-year college or university full-time will receive up to $5,000 per year. Students attending any accredited, not-for-profit 2-year college full-time will receive up to $2,500 per year. |
