The Capitol Scholarship Program provides state grants to help talented and needy students pay for college. The grant is primarily funded by the State of Connecticut and may also include federal funds from the Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnership (LEAP) grant or the Special Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnership (SLEAP) grant. It is not a merit program; priority is given to those who are least able to contribute to college costs. Students may use the grants at any eligible college or university in Connecticut, and in states which have reciprocal arrangements with Connecticut (the District of Columbia, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Vermont). The Connecticut Department of Higher Education administers the program. All inquiries and applications should be directed to the Capitol Scholarship Program, Connecticut Department of Higher Education at csp@ctdhe.org or (860/947-1855). Students should give their completed applications to their high school guidance counselor or college admissions officer. Counselors/Registrars should complete their part of the application and submit the entire form by February 15th to the Connecticut Department of Higher Education. New applicants will be notified via email about the status of their applications by July 1st. Awards are sent directly to colleges for deposit into student accounts. Half of the award is sent in the fall after the college confirms a student's eligibility and enrollment. The balance is sent to the college in the spring following enrollment confirmation.
