The Alumni Association of Hartford Public High School focuses primarily on postsecondary scholarships for graduates and direct support for the Hartford public school system. Most grants fund college scholarships at regional public and private universities, while a smaller share supports school operations and local education initiatives. Their giving reflects an alumni-driven effort to help Hartford students access and succeed in higher education.
Concentrated, modest-sized giving focused on scholarships; repeated multi-year or multiple grants to a handful of core higher-education institutions and the local public school district rather than widely distributed one-off grants.
A defining feature of the Alumni Association of the Hartford Public High School’s giving is direct scholarship support for Hartford graduates, with awards reaching institutions such as the University of Connecticut, the University of Hartford, and Central Connecticut State University. The pattern is strongly education-centered and tied to individual learners: the foundation funds students pursuing postsecondary study, alongside occasional operating support for Hartford Public School. Recent grants show a mix of in-state public universities, regional private schools, and some out-of-state destinations, including Clark Atlanta University and Florida Polytechnic University. That range suggests the association is focused on helping Hartford Public High School alumni continue their education wherever they enroll, while still keeping much of its support close to Hartford. The foundation also provides recurring support to Hartford Public School itself, indicating an institutional relationship with the local school system in addition to its scholarship activity. Its grantmaking is sized for direct student aid and school-level support rather than large institutional awards, reflecting an alumni-led effort centered on educational access and affordability.
Postsecondary tuition assistance is the core of this funder’s work. In 2024, it gave $14,000 to the University of Connecticut for scholarship support, and in 2025 it awarded $11,500 to the same institution for the same purpose. The foundation also supports other Connecticut colleges, including $12,500 to the University of Hartford for scholarship support and $11,000 to Central Connecticut State University for scholarship support. Beyond public universities, it extends aid to a broader mix of schools: $7,500 went to Clark Atlanta University for scholarship support, and $5,500 went to Florida Polytechnic University for scholarship support. A second theme is direct support for Hartford Public School. Grants of $12,712 in 2025 and $8,913 in 2024 were both marked for operations, showing that the foundation backs the school system itself as well as individual student aid.
Typical grants are relatively small and consistent: the 25th percentile is $7,325, the median is $8,706, and the 75th percentile is $11,750. That distribution points to a steady scholarship program rather than one-off outsized awards. The recent grants also show repetition over time, especially at the University of Connecticut and Hartford Public School, which both received multiple grants in consecutive years. The foundation makes direct financial assistance to individuals and institutional support for schools, and it does not make program-related investments. The available record does not show an application process in the data provided.

Giving is concentrated in Connecticut, which accounts for 83% of grants to recipients in the HQ state. Recent recipient cities include Storrs, Hartford, West Hartford, New Britain, and New London. Outside Connecticut, the foundation has also made grants to Atlanta, Georgia, and Lakeland, Florida, showing that while the focus is local, some scholarship support reaches students at out-of-state campuses. The top state by grant count is Florida, though most giving still lands in Connecticut.
It primarily funds postsecondary scholarships for Hartford Public High School graduates. Recent grants include support for the University of Connecticut, the University of Hartford, Central Connecticut State University, Eastern Connecticut State University, Clark Atlanta University, and Florida Polytechnic University, all marked for scholarship support.
Yes. Recent grants include $12,712 in 2025 and $8,913 in 2024 for Hartford Public School, both designated for operations, showing direct support for the school system alongside student scholarships.
The grant-size distribution centers in the low five figures: the 25th percentile is $7,325, the median is $8,706, and the 75th percentile is $11,750. Recent grants such as $11,500, $11,000, and $8,000 fit that pattern.
Several recipients appear across multiple years. The University of Connecticut received grants in both 2024 and 2025, and Hartford Public School also received grants in both years. That suggests a recurring scholarship and school-support pattern rather than isolated awards.
