Roberta B. Willis Need-Based Grant (CT Residents) and Need-Merit Scholarship
This program comprises two awards, the need-merit scholarship given by the Connecticut Office of Higher Education and the need-based grant awarded by the University. Students must apply through their high school guidance office for the need-merit Roberta B. Willis Scholarship. UConn awards the need-based Roberta B. Willis Grant to eligible full-time, in-state undergraduates pursuing their first undergraduate degree whose FAFSA has been received by the federal processor on or before UConn’s on-time deadline. The need-based Roberta B. Willis Grant may be awarded as a University Grant up front. This grant is a renewable fixed amount for eight semesters of full-time undergraduate study contingent upon meeting the terms and conditions set by the University and New Haven Promise, Hartford Promise, and Waterbury Promise. These Promise Scholars can enroll to UConn and will receive $5,000 per year from the University to be split between fall and spring semesters, paired with generous need-based scholarships from the Promise program to help ensure that college is affordable and accessible to them.
