Scholarships

College is one of the best investments you will ever make and paying for your education may be more affordable than you think. UConn offers a variety of scholarships that reward academic and community service accomplishments.

Scholarships are only available to U.S. citizens and permanent residents.

Merit Scholarships

UConn has a series of renewable merit scholarships for high school seniors with a record of high academic achievement and leadership.

Incoming freshmen are automatically considered for most merit scholarships administered by the University of Connecticut. However, a separate application is required for UConn’s Nutmeg Scholarship and the Day of Pride Scholarship.
