Financial Aid The University of Hartford offers need-based financial
aid to eligible students to help defray their education expenses.
To be considered for need-based financial aid, you must submit
the Free Application
for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
Award amounts vary and depend on your demonstrated
financial need. Need is determined by subtracting the expected
family contribution (EFC), from the estimated
cost of attendance (COA), as determined by the Office
of Admission and Student Financial Assistance.
Note: The University
cannot guarantee that your need will be met in full because financial
aid is contingent upon the timeliness of the your application,
federal regulations, institutional policies governing financial
aid, and the availability of funds. Furthermore, if you have earned
a baccalaureate degree or are enrolled less than full time, you
are ineligible for University administered or funded grants or
scholarships. Full-time undergraduate students applying for financial
aid will be considered for all programs which the University administers.
Student financial aid awards are generally a combination of grants,
loans, and part-time employment, contingent upon demonstrated
need and the availability of funds. Graduate students applying
for financial aid will be considered for the Federal
Family Education Loan Programs.
In addition to its own
funds, the University of Hartford participates in all Federal
Title IV Programs and Federal
Family Education Loan Programs. Residents of Connecticut
and of those states with reciprocal agreements with the State
of Connecticut may also be eligible to receive state scholarships
or grants.
Scholarships The University of Hartford offers scholarships which
are not based on demonstrated financial need.
These scholarships are usually based on other factors which may
include your academic performance, place of residence, or talent
(artistic, performing arts or athletic). These scholarships are
awarded during the undergraduate admission process or through
a specific school, college, or department of the University. Students
who are seeking a second Baccalaureate degree or who are enrolled
less than full-time are ineligible for University-administered
grants or scholarships.
