Scholarship Description

The New Hampshire Charitable Foundation sponsors this special program to assist adult students who have had little post high school education. The program is designed to help students who are returning to school to upgrade skills for employment or for career advancement, to qualify for a degree program or make a career change. We are particularly interested in helping applicants achieve economic independence and in supporting students whose education and training will lead directly to better employment opportunities.

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
Applicants must be legal residents of New Hampshire who are independent students*. Students must have applied for all other available financial aid and still demonstrate an unmet need. Applicants may be taking one or more courses for credit or non-credit, in a degree program or non-degree program.

* To claim independent, adult student status you must be 24 or older. If you are not yet 24, you must be able to demonstrate that you meet one or more of the following conditions: (1) served in the military or (2) are a ward of the court or (3) have not been claimed by your parents for two consecutive years and have earned at least $4,000 in each of those two years or (4) are married or have dependent children.
