College Scholarships Available To Southington, Berlin Students

High school students in four towns served by a regional foundation have to check the calendar if they want to get a piece of more than $300,000 in available cash for college.

That's because application deadlines are fast approaching for scholarship dollars available through funds managed by the Community Foundation of Greater New Britain (CFGNB).

Scholarships are available to high school seniors in New Britain, Berlin, Plainville and Southington, with some select scholarships available to students in Farmington, Newington, Wethersfield and beyond.

A handful of scholarships are also available to local students already enrolled in their post-high school education.

Last year, the Community Foundation awarded 91 scholarships from over 55 separate donor-established funds totaling $332,890.

“In 2022, we awarded the largest amount of scholarship dollars in our history,” said Foundation President David Obedzinski, “and we are on track to break that record in 2023 due to generous donors who have established new scholarships with us or made gifts to their already established funds.”

Students enrolled in a public high school in our service area should consult their guidance counselors who have detailed information on the available scholarships and their deadlines.

To apply for CFGNB scholarships, interested applicants should visit the link below, create an account, take an eligibility quiz and browse various scholarship opportunities.

The deadline for all scholarships within the foundation's online portal is March 15.
