Welcome to the new Office of Financial and Academic Affairs for Higher Education.

 

Created in July 2011, our Office provides a wealth of services to students, and to postsecondary schools and colleges.

 

This website explains the many functions of our Office, from helping students learn about and find ways to pay for college to assuring that independent colleges and private occupational schools provide outstanding and relevant learning opportunities to students of all ages and backgrounds. We operate Connecticut’s highly-respected Alternate Route to Teacher Certification as well as state financial aid and AmeriCorps programs. The goal underlying all of our work is to promote access to exciting and rewarding postsecondary education opportunities.

 

We hope you will use this website as a clear and convenient source for information on all aspects of higher education in Connecticut.

 

We welcome your comments and invite you to contact our Office to learn more about our work and ways we can serve you.

 

With best wishes on your educational endeavors,

 

Jane A. Ciarleglio

Executive Director
