NEW HAMPSHIRE CHARITABLE FOUNDATION

The New Hampshire Charitable Foundation is pleased to announce that it will award over $7 million in scholarship aid to over 1,500 New Hampshire students this year. Students only need to apply once to be considered for all of our scholarship funds. Our online application, ScholarshipSource, automatically matches applicants to the funds for which they qualify. To access our online application, students should visit www.nhcf.org and select Apply for a scholarship.

We are dedicated to supporting students and adult learners in all types of post-secondary education, including 4-year degrees, 2-year degrees, certificates, professional licenses, apprenticeships, and other non-degree programs. We ask that you encourage all of your graduating students to apply no matter what type of post-secondary education they are interested in.

To apply, students will need: · An electronic copy of their high school transcript (it does not need to be official) · A screenshot of FAFSA results verifying their EFC · A valid email address for at least one individual willing to write a recommendation

ScholarshipSource generates an automated e-mail message directly to students’ references. Some school firewalls may block these messages or prevent access to the application portal. To prevent this, we recommend that your IT department open the school firewall to incoming emails with @nhcf.org extensions and from https://nhcf.scholarships.ngwebsolutions.com in order to accommodate student requests. Additionally, your technical team may want to add the IP address to the “whitelist” or allow list. The IP address is 12.228.6.215.

If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected] or call (603) 225-6641 x 2.
