Your eligibility for a scholarship is not based on whether you receive financial aid from the University of Hartford. Many students who are not eligible for financial aid from the University will qualify for scholarships for Alternative Break. If you are interested in being considered for a scholarship you must submit your Student Service Center ("self-service") financial aid statement
