Here's What Stands Out About This Community Foundation's Scholarship Program
Foundation: Hartford Foundation for Public Giving
More than 110 of this year's graduating students will receive scholarships.
The Hartford Foundation plans to continue the program into the future.
To qualify, students must be Hartford residents for all four years of high school, attend a public high school in Hartford, graduate with a 3.0 grade point average and have a 93% attendance rate.
The program has an impressive track record: 86 to 89% of Hartford Promise scholars persist in college.
