The Pledge to Advance Connecticut tuition assistance program currently helps students who attend CT State community colleges. It pays for a student’s tuition and mandatory fees after applying federal and state grants. Students must be a Connecticut resident, fill out the FAFSA, and enroll in six or more credits. Those who have their tuition covered by Pell and other grants also receive a basic needs assistance grant, making this a “middle dollar” program.
