Day of Pride Scholarship Applicants

Day of Pride Scholarships are awarded to outstanding Connecticut secondary school seniors from underserved backgrounds who have proven ability for success as demonstrated through UConn's holistic application review. In addition to a commitment to diversity and multiculturalism, demonstrated leadership, and contributions to their communities, applicants should have demonstrated financial need.

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, Stamps Scholarship, or Day of Pride Scholarship, not all three. 

Early Decision applicants who apply for the Day of Pride Scholarship will not be notified of their award at the time of admission. Day of Pride Scholarship selection will be made in early February.
