These programs prepare students for transfer to four-year degree programs and careers in areas with industry need.

Prospective credit students are encouraged to apply for financial aid by completing a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form even if they don’t think they are eligible for financial aid. A FAFSA form is required regardless of family income for those who may be eligible for free college through PACT: Pledge to Advance Connecticut, which is accessible to students on a space-available basis.
