The starting point
UHart auto-considers every freshman for $23,000-to-full-tuition academic awards with no published stat grid, runs an invite-only full-tuition competition, and tops up Hartford/Bloomfield residents to half tuition — but one strict rule governs everything: an academic scholarship cannot be combined with any other non-need UHart award, and a lost scholarship is never reinstated.
Selection beyond grades and scores. These awards are not recorded as automatic on grades and scores. Read each award's selection rules, application steps and dates. Meeting a minimum is not an award offer.
Awards to discuss
First 3 of 11 recorded awards, in chapter display order. This is a selection, not a ranking. Read the full chapter for all awards. Amounts retain the original units and conditions; confirm the entering year with the school.
Academic Scholarships (National Honors, Regents, Presidents, Stanley Black & Decker Scholar of Excellence, Founders, Hawk Achievement, Hartt Academic)
$23,000-Full tuition · Published coverage or package
Not recorded as automatic on grades and scores. Read the selection rules.
Eligibility: Holistic review of SAT/ACT scores, class rank (if applicable), and HS cumulative GPA — no published grid; automatic consideration with the admission application; U.S. citizens/permanent residents; financial need not a factor. Hartt applicants get talent awards instead, so academic awards are limited.
Renewal: Renewable up to eight semesters / four years with continuous full-time enrollment, SAP, and minimum cumulative GPA by award: National Honors 3.25; Regents/Presidents/Stanley Black & Decker 3.0; Founders/Hawk Achievement and Hartt Academic list full-time + SAP only. Forfeited scholarships are never reinstated.
Other terms: No stat grid is published; 'a single factor like your SAT score may not automatically result in a smaller scholarship.'
