Eligible seniors are notified automatically by their school counselor instead of filling out a scholarship application. Four-year college students can receive up to $25,000 a year (up to $5,000 from Hartford Promise plus up to $20,000 through the partnering Greater Futures Scholarship Fund), for as much as $100,000 over four years; two-year college students receive up to $2,500 a year from Hartford Promise alone. Scholars also get years of coaching, tutoring, and career mentoring support.
