Overview
The Two-year or Associate Degree Scholarship Program, funded by the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation, aims to support students in New Hampshire and select bordering communities pursuing post-secondary education. Scholarships ranging from $100 to $3,500 are awarded based on financial need, with a focus on aiding those entering high-demand fields such as STEM. Applicants must submit FAFSA documentation to determine eligibility and financial aid packages. Recipients will be notified within six weeks of application.
A resource for New Hampshire students
The scholarship funds at the Foundation were created by generous donors who wanted to help New Hampshire students reach their full potential. Scholarships are awarded to students for certificates, licensing programs, apprenticeships, two- and four-year degree programs and graduate school.
Determining financial need
Candidates are required to submit a copy of the FAFSA Submission Summary which is the result of filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which determines what a particular family can reasonably afford for education or the student aid index (SAI). In addition, finalists will be asked to supply a copy of the financial aid package offered by the institution to be attended.
Award decisions
Awards will range from $100 to $3,500 depending on financial need. Applicants will be notified of the results within six weeks after submission.
