Southern New Hampshire University

The New Hampshire governor's scholarship program is designed to provide financial assistance for tuition, fees, and direct costs to eligible high school graduates or recent high school graduates within the state of New Hampshire. Eligibility is limited to first time, full time students who are Federal Pell Grant recipients. Requirements include New Hampshire residency, graduation from a New Hampshire high school or a NH high school equivalency, and cannot be an adjudicated delinquent or convicted or pled guilty or nolo contendere to any felonies or any second or subsequent alcohol or drug related offenses. Annual awards are based on students who demonstrate exceptional financial need through the filing of the FAFSA and the availability of funding. Two categories of scholarships include: Designated New Hampshire scholars will receive $2,000 per year and must maintain at least a 2.5 GPA to renew their scholarship for up to four years; and Non-New Hampshire scholars will receive a $1,000 scholarship and must maintain at least a 2.0 GPA to renew their scholarship for up to four years.
