4-Year College Scholarships

The Hartford Foundation has a wide array of scholarships for 4-year college students. These scholarships are offered through two channels: the Hartford Foundation scholarship portal and our Community Scholarship listings. Each channel offers different scholarships, so we recommend browsing both.
