Student Aid


Since 1972, the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation Student Aid Program has distributed more than $31.2 million to New Hampshire students to help them reach their educational goals. The Foundation administers over 250 separate funds, established by individuals, families, organizations and businesses, to support education. This is the largest source of independent student aid in New Hampshire.

While most of our scholarships and loans are awarded to what many of us think of as "traditional" students entering college, already in college, or pursuing a graduate degree; the Foundation is continually looking for new ways to deliver scholarship services to less traditional types of students. Adults returning to school or exploring training opportunities comprise a significant (and growing) category of our scholarship and loan awards. 

If you have questions regarding any of the Foundation's scholarship programs, please call the Student Aid office at 1-888-642-4348.
