Eligibility: All New Hampshire high school students (currently enrolled in grades 9-12) participating in a school-sponsored or educational-based travel program are welcome to apply.

Selection Criteria: Academic excellence is not a factor in selecting candidates for awards; however, we do expect students to demonstrate reasonable achievement and a commitment to their studies. Financial need, academic merit and other non-academic factors such as community service, school activities and work experience may be taken into consideration. Priority may be given to students with the fewest financial resources.

Application & Award Annual Schedule: Applications are accepted on a rolling basis and will be reviewed and awarded quarterly. Quarterly submission deadlines are: March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31. Scholarships will be awarded no later than 15 days after each quarterly review.

Award Amounts: Awards typically range from $150 to $500, but may be more if the Foundation deems the student to have exceptional merit or financial need. The Foundation will take the following into consideration when determining the award amount: the cost of the trip, financial need, number of applicants, and information contained in the candidate’s supporting documents.
