Mitchell College is launching a scholarship in partnership with New Haven Promise, a scholarship and support program, making four years of college more affordable for soon-to-be high school graduates living in New Haven. The Mitchell New Haven Promise Scholarship offers New Haven resident students $19,000 per year from Mitchell College and up to $5,000 per year from New Haven Promise, plus an opportunity for on-campus employment during the scholarship program. Students are required to live on campus and actively participate in Mitchell’s community outreach throughout their college experience.

Dr. Tracy Y. Espy, Mitchell College president, said, “By making college more affordable through the Mitchell New Haven Promise Scholarship, students are empowered to pursue their academic and professional dreams. The convenience of on-campus living provides students with greater opportunities to engage with the community and have access to resources. We are excited to welcome more New Haven residents to our Mitchell Mariner community through this program.”

To be eligible for the scholarship, students must attend New Haven Public Schools or approved charter schools in New Haven continuously for at least grades 9 through 12. Students must also meet eligibility requirements for attendance and disciplinary record, GPA, and community service.
