In 1986, on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the founding of the College, the trustees established the New London Scholars program in appreciation of the important role the city has played in the life of the College from its beginning. Each semester, two outstanding seniors from 18 of the area’s high schools are selected to take one course tuition-free. Students, however, are responsible for the cost of books and other class-related materials. Any students interested in this program should contact their school counselor.
In the fall of 2015, the program was extended to educators in the New London County. Two educators from each school are chosen on a first-come, first-served basis to enroll in a course tuition-free. Educators will also be responsible for the cost of books and other class-related materials.
The high schools participating in the program are:
Ella T. Grasso Technical High School
Marine Science Magnet High School
Three Rivers Middle College Magnet High School
