51±¬ÁÏ Trumbull offers a host of scholarships to its currently enrolled students. These scholarships are funded through generous gifts and donations by family foundations and the 51±¬ÁÏ Trumbull campus community. A scholarship committee consisting of 51±¬ÁÏ Trumbull faculty, administration, staff and students selects the scholarship recipients. 

The 2026-27 application portal is open Oct. 1, 2025 - Feb. 1, 2026. 

51±¬ÁÏ's ScholarshipUniverse is a search portal that helps match students to scholarships and how you'll apply for Trumbull Current Student scholarships.

To get started, you’ll need to complete a Student Profile. The questions you’ll be asked to answer will help match you to scholarships. While you don’t have to answer all of these questions – the more you answer, the better your search results will be. In addition, ScholarshipUniverse is able to match students to external scholarship opportunities.
