The University of Connecticut (UConn) offers various scholarship options for students, including merit-based, need-based, and program-specific awards. Merit scholarships, such as the Presidential Scholarship and Leadership Scholarship, recognize academic excellence. Need-based aid is determined through FAFSA and may include grants like the Federal Pell Grant.
Departmental scholarships cater to specific majors, while athletic scholarships support student-athletes. External scholarships from organizations are also applicable. UConn’s financial aid office provides resources to identify opportunities. Early application and meeting deadlines enhance eligibility. Scholarships may cover tuition, fees, or living expenses, reducing the overall cost of attendance.
