Scholarship Support

Turning Possibility Into Purpose

Each year at the University of Hartford, students arrive with ambition, curiosity, and a determination to discover who they are and who they can become. Through intentional preparation—inside and outside the classroom—they gain the knowledge, skills and real-world experience to turn possibility into purpose.

For many students, the challenge isn’t a lack of drive or belief—it’s overcoming the financial and circumstantial barriers that stand between them and a transformative education. Scholarships make that journey possible. Scholarship support opens doors for a new generation of Hawks, ensuring talented, motivated students can make a University of Hartford education possible. 

When you support student scholarships, your generosity fuels their potential! 

Your Support. Their Future.

From business and technology, to science and medicine, to music and the arts, the power of a scholarship is universal. Your generous support empowers more students to pursue the big, bold ideas that will shape industry and impact communities around the world.

When you invest in tomorrow’s leaders, you are helping us transform the future.

Empowering the Next Generation of Hawks

The Hawk Alumni Scholarship

The Hawk Alumni Scholarship provides a scholarship equivalent to a 25% tuition discount for UHart alumni entering select graduate degree programs. 

Scholarships across the University reflect our diverse, vibrant community of learners and are central to our students’ ability to immerse themselves in everything UHart has to offer.

Through the support of our donors, we are able to provide students with unique learning opportunities that propel them upward, offering deep learning experiences and networking opportunities that equip and strengthen them both professionally and personally. When they cross that stage at commencement, they are ready to make a difference in their communities and the world. Together, we are making a significant impact in the lives of University of Hartford students.

Impacting the Lives of Students Through Scholarship

Dillon Jones '25 M'26, Stanley Black & Decker Scholarship Recipient

“My scholarship was a door opener that changed my life in a positive way. It not only allowed me to continue my studies but also connected me with the people and opportunities I needed to grow and succeed in the business world.”

Sara Costa '26, Recipient of the Robert E. Donovan Endowed Scholarship

“Receiving this scholarship is deeply meaningful to me, as it will enable me to attend a mathematics conference in Seattle this winter, where I will present my summer research. This opportunity excites me because it allows me to share my work with others, exchange ideas, and build connections with like-minded individuals in the field.”
