New Grant Program Reduces Costs of College for Financially Qualifying Students Attending the University System of NH

The University System of New Hampshire is working to break down barriers for state residents with significant financial need who want to attend the University of New Hampshire, Plymouth State University, Keene State College and Granite State College.

Not considering college because of cost? An ACE grant from one of the University System of NH's colleges or universities assists new high school grads with significant financial need. If your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) is under $1,000, you may be eligible for up to $3,000 in grant aid. Combined with other grants and financial aid options, ACE recipients can graduate with significantly lower debt levels, putting a college education within their reach.

There is no application - financial aid offices use a student's Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine eligibility.

Financial aid staff will work with ACE recipients to help them graduate with as little debt as possible. For more information, contact the USNH financial aid offices or visit www.usnh.edu.
