AFT Connecticut Scholarships
Each year, the AFT Connecticut Scholarship Program awards two types of Scholarships providing funding to eligible members and their dependents.
Persons eligible to apply for a scholarship are members, members’ spouses or domestic partners, or children of members. Grandchildren of members are also eligible if they are legal dependents and/or the grandparents are financially responsible for the child. The AFT Connecticut member upon whom the applicant bases their eligibility must be a member of an AFT Connecticut Local in good standing.
