Jewish Community Foundation College Scholarships
Scholarship Sponsored by Jewish Community Foundation of Greater Hartford
The Foundation awards almost $100,000 annually in college scholarships. These scholarships are given to students who have strong potential for success, but limited financial resources, to help them pay for college and graduate school including tuition, fees, room and board.
