Scholarship Resources
The University of New Haven Financial Wellness Program has created a resource for students to search for other scholarships to help offset education costs.
These resources include scholarship search tips, a scholarship binder, one on one peer coaching, presentations, financial wellness tips, and workshops.
Scholarship Binder: This resource is a culmination of scholarships sent to the Financial Aid Office. The scholarships have been reviewed and vetted scholarships. It contains over 100 scholarships sorted by deadline date and is updated biannually.
