Scholarships

Plan New Hampshire: The Foundation for Shaping the Built Environment, seeks to preserve the quality of life in our state by encouraging sustainable planning, design and development of the built environment.

One means of fulfilling this mission is through its Scholarship program. These funds are raised by Plan NH and are managed by the NH Charitable Foundation.

The Scholarship Program

Plan New Hampshire’s Scholarship Program awards scholarships to undergraduate students from New Hampshire who are studying a field related to the built environment and its impact on community.

So that we may have a greater diversity of applications, Scholarships do NOT INCLUDE students of architecture, mechanical engineering, interior design or studio arts, as these are taken care of in our Fellowship Program.

Qualifications:

• New Hampshire residents
• Enrolled in an accredited program of engineering, environmental studies, land planning or other program related to the mission of Plan New Hampshire.  (These programs may NOT INCLUDE architecture, mechanical engineering, interior design or studio arts, as these are covered in our Fellowship Program).
• Superior grade point average
• Demonstrated general excellence in field of study

Scholarship recipients must agree to continue the plan of study described in her or his application during the first semester following this application period.
