Cost should never be a barrier to college. We’re here to help!

CT State's low tuition makes earning a degree, certificate, or college credit very affordable.

We always encourage our students to complete a FAFSA each year as a first form of payment. Many of our students qualify for financial aid grants that come from federal, state, and institutional resources that are only available when you complete a FAFSA. Other students seek out private scholarships from national, state, or local agencies that are sent directly to our college.

There are many free resources available to assist you in your search to lower your college costs. Start your search for scholarships by browsing through the following scholarship search engines. Make sure you review the requirements of each scholarship to see if you qualify!

We always have outside organizations contact us with scholarship opportunities. Make sure you check in with the financial aid office frequently for any updates. If you have a scholarship suggestion for this list, please email steven.mcdowell@ctstate.edu.
