At UHart, we are committed to making your education affordable and attainable.
Each year, accepted students with high academic success are invited to our prestigious Scholarship Competition. These undergraduate University scholarships reach up to full tuition and are renewable for four years when the recipient maintains a 3.25 cumulative GPA. The scholarships empower students from varied backgrounds and interests to make the most of their UHart experience.

To be considered for our annual scholarship competition, students should apply to UHart and submit all supplemental materials by the Nov. 15 early action deadline.
Qualifying candidates*, who have high academic success, and have been accepted into the College of Arts & Sciences, College of Education, Nursing and Health Professions, College of Engineering, Technology, and Architecture, and the Barney School of Business, will be notified of their invitation to the prestigious competition in December via email.
*Qualified students admitted to The Hartt School, Hartford Art School, and Hillyer College will be given the opportunity to qualify for additional scholarships through separate programs offered by each school. Details will be forthcoming to those eligible.
