Grants for Connecticut Residents

Connecticut students can take advantage of a vast array of grants provided by charities, schools, public and private institutions, nonprofit organizations and corporations. Students can tap into three main grant types: need-based awards for the financially burdened, scholarships for particular majors and merit-based grants for the academically successful. With so many grants to choose from, it's really just a matter of finding the best grant for you and doing everything you can to get it.
