Your Promise Fuels Their Potential
The Class of 2027 is the largest incoming class in UHart's history!
Each year, at the University of Hartford, our students arrive with ambition and drive, eager to uncover their passion and realize their dreams. They leave with the knowledge, tools, and experience to improve the world around them.
For many of these students it isn’t their belief in what’s possible that holds them back, it’s overcoming the obstacles and challenges that stand in the way of pursuing a lifechanging education with us. Scholarships create access and opportunity for a new generation of Hawks, addressing the financial or circumstantial barriers that might prevent these students from bringing their talents to Hartford.
When you support student scholarships, your generosity fuels their potential!
