The Connecticut Association of Professional Financial Aid Administration (CAPFAA) is announcing the CAPFAA Scholarship for the academic year 2006/07.

This scholarship will be awarded to ten students for a thousand dollars each.

According to the Dean of Sacred Heart University Financial Assistance, July B. Savino, "Students should be encouraged to apply to scholarships. There are a lot of programs and scholarships which students could be eligible for," she also explained.

CAPFAA was founded in 1969 with the function of promoting professional training and collaboration between Connecticut College and University's student financial administrators, as well as others in educational organizations, government agencies, foundations, and private community associations that have to deal with the assistance and administration of student financial aid.

According to the CAPFAA, "We feel this scholarship is an excellent way to promote our mission of effectively serving the interest and needs of students in their pursuit of a higher education."

As Savino and Gail Marks, Assistant to the Dean and Coordinator of Office Communications noted, there are a lot of different scholarships and programs that offer significant opportunities and considerable amounts of money.

In fact, "over six-hundred thousand dollars of scholarships were given to full time students just in December for this academic year," said Savino.

In addition to the CAPFAA Scholarship, Sacred Heart University holds other programs for transfer students such as the Phi Theta Kappa Scholarship; transfer students who are elected member of the Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society and who have or will graduate from a qualified two-year institution are eligible for this program which offers more than four thousand dollars for an academic year.

The Connecticut Community College Scholarship Program is also available for forthcoming transfer students who are attending a Connecticut Community College and are residents of the State of Connecticut. This scholarship puts forward one thousand dollars to four thousand dollars for an academic year as well.
