New Hampshire Scholarships

These verified awards sit on top of the national scholarships and New Hampshire's own state aid programs, so treat them as one layer of a larger funding plan.

Common questions
How many New Hampshire scholarships are there?
Award Scholar currently lists 10 verified scholarships for New Hampshire students, with amounts and deadlines checked against each sponsor's official page. The median award is around $7,500, and the largest reaches $33,000.
Do these scholarships require essays?
Not all of them. 5 of the current awards need no essay, so they take minutes to apply to. The essay-based ones tend to be less crowded and pay more, and Award Scholar can draft those essays in your own voice.
What New Hampshire financial aid exists beyond scholarships?
New Hampshire runs its own aid programs, including Governor's Scholarship, administered by New Hampshire Department of Education. File the FAFSA (No fixed state deadline published. Check with your school's financial aid office and file early.) to unlock them, then stack private scholarships on top. See the full New Hampshire financial aid guide for deadlines and eligibility.
Can New Hampshire students also win national scholarships?

When is the next deadline?
The next verified deadline in this group is July 31, 2026. Deadlines are spread across the whole year, so a miss is never fatal — new windows open every month.
