Its major responsibilities, as outlined in the Connecticut General Statutes, are to ensure that postsecondary schools and independent colleges meet standards of quality for the benefit of students and taxpayers, and to administer public financial aid scholarships. Led by an Executive Director, the Office of Higher Education employs 21 people and distributes nearly $35 million in financial aid to Connecticut students and colleges. The agency is responsible for administration and oversight of a number of state and federally run programs. Programs include: x Oversight over 20 institutions of higher learning within the not-for-profit and for-profit sectors; x Approval of out-of-state colleges and universities; x Authorization of 95 Connecticut private occupational and hospital-based schools; x Administration of the Roberta B. Willis Scholarship Program; x Administration of the Minority Advancement Program (MAP); x Administration of the Minority Teacher Incentive Grant Program and the Minority Teacher Loan Forgiveness Program; x Operation of the Alternative Route to Certification (ARC) Program; x Staffing of the Connecticut Commission on Community Service (Serve Connecticut) x Service as the State Approving Agency for Veterans; and x Administration of the John R. Justice Grant Program. The Office of Higher Education recently adopted the Genius of Connecticut as its new symbol. Her name “Genius” represents our state’s spirit of innovation.
