Scholarship Deferment & College Transfer Forms

Scholarship Deferment

New Haven Promise Scholars can defer their scholarships for up to 2 semesters within the five years following high school graduation. Deferring your scholarship means putting it on hold and expecting to reactivate it in one or two semesters. This is common when you go out of state, take a gap, or have academic, financial or personal reasons.

Please note: 1) Any fall or spring semester not funded by Promise is considered a deferment, whether or not you submit a deferment form; 2) If you have reached the maximum number of allowed deferments, your request may be denied; 3) If you are unsure how many semesters you have already deferred, please contact our office.

Scholarship Transfer

New Haven Promise Scholars can transfer their scholarships between eligible Connecticut Colleges and Universities. You must submit this form to notify New Haven Promise office once you are admitted to a new college.

Please note: 1) The scholarship amount may change depending on the college to which you transfer; 2) The university match offered by Promise partner universities won’t follow you if you transfer to another university; 3) We encourage scholars to contact our office to get an estimate before transferring.
