Hartford Consortium Gets $200K Grant To Support Student Programs

The Hartford Consortium for Higher Education has been awarded $200,000 from Bank of America to expand its efforts preparing and mentoring students for college and the workforce, officials said. The two-year grant, part of the bank's Neighborhood Builders program for nonprofits, will support Career Beginnings, a college access initiative, and give a boost to Jr. Apprentice, a job training program in its second year at Bulkeley High School that offers paid work experience to about 15 to 20 students, said Martin Estey, the consortium's executive director.
