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.
Picture
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.
