Who is eligible for a scholarship?
New Haven, CT residents who are graduating from a New Haven Public High
School or who are graduating from Eli Whitney Regional Vocational
Technical High School
How do I get an application?
Applications are available from the Guidance Counselor's in the participating
schools.
How long are the scholarships for?
Each scholarship is awarded on a one year basis.
Can I get a scholarship beyond the first year?

college grades, a financial statement and a letter describing your college
plans and experiences to the New Haven Scholarship Fund by June 30th.
When are awards given?
Awards for the first year in college are given at an awards ceremony in June.
Awards beyond the first year are dealt with separately over the summer.
How much are the scholarships?
Students attending Community Colleges receive $500; those going elsewhere
may receive awards up to $3,500.
Why the difference in amounts?
Community Colleges are generally highly subsidized and the costs to the
student aren't as great.
How are the scholarships paid?
The Fund will pay one half of the award for each of the first two semesters
upon being billed by the college. The awards are not mailed without prior
notification from the school that the student is enrolled.
How are the amounts of the award determined?
Awards are based on funds available to the Scholarship Fund, the student's
financial need, the student's academic record and any other information
deemed appropriate by the Fund's interviewers.
Where does the money come from?
While the Fund has a few corporate donors, the bulk of the funds come from
individual donations ranging from $5 to several thousand dollars. Individuals
have also bequeathed money to endowment funds with the New Haven
Scholarship Fund as the beneficiary.
