Connecticut residents who made student loan payments last year can apply for assistance now. The Connecticut Student Loan Reimbursement Program has opened a new round of grants to provide financial relief to eligible residents across the state.
This program offers critical support to many younger residents and middle-income households who are working to manage the rising cost of education while building their careers and families in Connecticut. By helping offset student loan payments, the program eases financial pressure and allows participants to focus on long-term stability and opportunity.
Just as importantly, this initiative plays a key role in retaining home-grown talent here in Connecticut. By encouraging graduates to stay, live, and work in our state, the program strengthens our workforce, supports local economies, and ensures that Connecticut continues to benefit from the skills and dedication of its own students.
Eligible applicants must have graduated from a public or private college or university in Connecticut and must be a Connecticut resident for at least five consecutive years. |

Applicants may qualify for reimbursement grants of up to $5,000 per year, with a maximum of $20,000 over four years. Each year, the program opens a new grant cycle to reimburse student loan payments made during the previous calendar year.
You must submit an application online through the CT Scholars portal along with the required documentation. CLICK HERE for step-by-step instructions.
If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact the Connecticut Office of Higher Education at OHE.SLRP@ct.gov.
Applications will be reviewed on a first come first serve basis through December 2026 or until funds are exhausted. |
