Our Scholarships
The Community Foundation manages over 60 scholarship funds that award more than $300,000 each year to students seeking higher education
Opening the Doors to Higher Education
The Community Foundation of Greater New Britain understands that we all benefit from an educated community, and our Board of Directors, Scholarship Committee and staff are committed to the continued growth of scholarship funds that help local students pursue their educational goals.
The majority of the 60 and growing scholarships we manage are awarded to graduating seniors of local public high schools in the Foundation’s coverage area, which includes Berlin, New Britain, Plainville and Southington. A small number are awarded to graduating seniors from Farmington, Newington, Wethersfield and beyond.
