Nutmeg Scholarship
Scholarship Sponsored by University of Connecticut
The Nutmeg Scholarship honors the exceptional accomplishments of Connecticut secondary school seniors. Applicants should demonstrate exceptional academic ability, have performed notable service to school and community, and possess the qualities of a good citizen and leader.
The selection process is competitive and the number of applications received greatly exceeds the number of available scholarships. Applicants may be considered for either a Nutmeg Scholarship or a Day of Pride Scholarship, not both.
