The University of Connecticut is committing a $5,000 annual scholarship to all qualifying Hartford Public High School graduates who plan to attend UConn.
To qualify, students must be participants of the Hartford Promise program, which means enrolled in Hartford Public Schools since at least 9th grade, graduating with a 3.0 grade point average and meeting attendance goals.
The Hartford Promise program offers a $5,000 scholarship and UConn is pledging to match that amount, thus doubling the scholarship for UConn-bound graduates.
