The Hartford Youth Scholars Foundation’s primary objective is to place our students at four-year colleges with the preparation to be successful in the post-secondary environment. HYSF fulfills a mission of creating lifetime opportunities for underserved Hartford children through education.

 

HYSF identifies and recruits highly motivated Hartford middle-school students, preparing them for a rigorous high school education. HYSF assists them in gaining acceptance and financial assistance primarily at top independent schools in the region with a proven record of college placement.

 

In addition to supporting Scholars placed at independent schools, HYSF will also support Scholars attending area charter, magnet, and public schools. HYSF supports its scholars through high school with college counseling services. As our Scholars return to the city of Hartford upon completion of college, they will support the development of a vibrant and productive community, making it a better place in which to live and work.
