This year's College Scholarship Directory is dedicated to all students in the hope that you will be inspired to pursue your dreams like Deedee Segel. This directory identifies some of the financial aid available to students in the Greater Hartford area who are going on to college beyond the secondary school level. Included are scholarships that are available from local, regonal, and national sources. While a student may have a greater chance in applying for a local scholarship, it does not hurt to apply for a number of scholarships. Since this directory is meant for the use of students throughout Greater Hartford, we have attempted to include only scholarships that apply to a broad spectrum of students.
Forms are usually available in the high school guidance office.
Complete this step early in your senior year of high school, since colleges use this information to develop the student financial package. Build a master file of information that will be common to most applications. Review the form before filling it out to insure that you have all the requested information. Confirm that you meet all the qualifications for the scholarship. Don't waste time working on a scholarship which cannot be earned.
