New Hampshire Scholarships

Nottingham residents who plan to attend a technical school or a two- or four-year college.

The Medallion Fund was created by a group of area businessmen who recognize that a skilled workforce is critical for expanding economic development. The goal of the fund is to assist individuals who are interested attending accredited vocational or technical programs for the purpose of improving their workforce skills, especially in areas of need in the state of New Hampshire. When to apply: There is no deadline. Applications are accepted at any time during the year. The selection committee meets monthly to consider awards. Who should apply? New Hampshire residents of any age who are enrolling in any accredited vocational or technical program that does NOT lead to a four-year baccalaureate or advanced degree. For example, a candidate might be planning to attend a community college, vocational/technical school, trade school, apprenticeship, or other short-term training program such as automotive technology, tractor-trailer school, HVAC certification, or nursing assistant certification. Selection criteria Because Medallion Fund resources are limited, the selection committee gives preference to the following: Applicants whose fields are in the traditional manufacturing trade sector such as plumbing, electrical, construction, machining, etc. Applicants who have a clear vision for how their education will help them achieve or improve their employment goals. Applicants who have had little or no other educational or training opportunities. Applicants who have made a commitment to their educational program both financially and otherwise. Award decisions If you receive an award, you can expect the award to be sent to you within two weeks of the committee’s action.

When to apply? The application will open February 1st, the deadline is April 15th at 5pm Eastern Time. Who should apply? The Kenney Fund seeks to support a diverse minority population — but the first preference is for Hispanic youth. Both traditional college age students and adult students may apply. Students may be planning to attend a local community college or vocational/technical school, be enrolling in a four-year degree program or even studying part-time. Students must be in a degree program or in a recognized certification program. Graduate students are not eligible. Selection criteria: The selection committee will review the applicant’s financial need and merit factors such as academic work, involvement in school or community activities, and work experience. Determining financial need: Candidates are required to submit a copy of the Student Aid Report (SAR) that is the result of filling out the Free Federal Form (FAFSA), which determines what a particular family can reasonably afford for education or the expected family contribution. In addition, finalists will be asked to supply a copy of the financial aid package offered by the institution to be attended. Award availability This is a competitive program. Typically, out of 90 applications, less than 10 awards may be made. Awards range in size between $500 and $2,500 depending on a student’s individual circumstances. Although Kenney awards are not automatically renewable, the selection committee encourages students to reapply. As long as you are a New Hampshire resident enrolled in school, you may continue to apply for assistance.
