Less guaranteed aid for Charter Oak students
Beginning July 1, 2026, Connecticut no longer has to set aside at least $100,000 of available funds for the Charter Oak grant. The law does not set a replacement amount, so eligible students could receive less grant aid. Other specified funding rules for the Roberta B. Willis Scholarship program remain in place.
