Financial Aid
A college education is a big investment. It's worth it, and help is more accessible than you might think. Last year, Central awarded more than $10 million in financial aid to transfer students alone. Get started by filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FASFA). Use Federal School Code 001378.
Scholarships
The CCSU Foundation, Inc., in conjunction with various departments across campus, administers scholarship funds annually. Incoming and transfer students are offered scholarships through the admissions process. Each year, continuing students must submit an annual application in late fall for the following academic year.
