## About this scholarship

The PASS grant is a state-funded program administered by the Connecticut Office of Higher Education. This initiative is designed specifically for minority undergraduate students attending colleges and universities in Connecticut who are currently on academic warning or academic probation. The program provides funding to support initiatives and services aimed at helping these students improve their academic standing and successfully navigate their degree programs. Because this is a state-administered educational grant, students generally need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, to establish their eligibility for state financial aid programs, though specific institutional processes may vary. The funding is distributed to help institutions implement targeted support systems for eligible students. For information regarding current application dates and specific deadlines, applicants should see the official page for current dates.
