As part of its commitment to educational excellence and access, Central Connecticut State University works to keep tuition low while providing a robust financial aid program that has grown to more than $100 million annually. Aggressive fundraising to support our students allows the University to provide $1.4 million in scholarships to nearly 900 students each year.

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.
Living On Campus
Central is a great place to live, learn, and grow. Living on campus at Central provides students with a sense of community, academic support, recreational opportunities, social activities, and safety and security. Students who live on campus have access to a variety of resources that can help them succeed in their studies and in their personal lives. There is also a variety of dining options available to students, including a dining hall, a cafe, and a Starbucks.
