Student Aid


Since 1972, the Foundation has distributed more than $35 million to New Hampshire students to help them reach their educational goals. The Foundation administers over 350 separate funds, established by individuals, families, organizations and businesses, to support higher education. This is the largest source of independent student aid in New Hampshire.
