Henry Barnard Scholar Awards

The award is named for the first U.S. commissioner of education, Henry Barnard, a distinguished Connecticut educator who was the state's first superintendent of schools and principal of what later became Central Connecticut State University. It is awarded annually to 12 outstanding college students from the four Connecticut State Universities honored by the Connecticut State University System Foundation for their academic excellence and community service.

To be considered for a Barnard Award, a student must have at least a 3.75 GPA and a record of significant community service. The students are nominated by their respective universities and presidents.
