Free college through PACT: Pledge to Advance Connecticut is still available to graduates of Connecticut’s high schools who have never attended college before. Accessing PACT and any financial aid starts with completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at fafsa.gov. PACT is not based on household income; all students who plan on attending full- or part-time should complete the FAFSA so they can access PACT, even if they do not think they will quality for need-based aid. Additional information is available at ctstate.edu/pact.
To reserve a spot, visit ctstate.edu/open-house. Walk-in visitors are also welcome.
