In 2010, 87% of all graduating New Hampshire Scholars seniors immediately enrolled in postsecondary education. Only 52% however, attended college in-state. While this matches the state average, many institutions would like to recognize NH Scholars students for challenging themselves by providing application fee waivers. We encourage students to use these fee waivers responsibly, thus researching the college to ensure proper fit. Students should be applying to colleges that are a good fit - not solely because it's free. Thank you. Below is the process by which NH Scholars can apply at no charge. Chester College of New England –Guidance counselors and/or NH Scholars students should contact Michael Hayes, michael.hayes@chestercollege.edu, Director of Admission, for an application fee waiver. Colby-Sawyer College – Apply online for free at www.commonapp.org Franklin Pierce University– Guidance counselors will receive fee waivers from the University by mail in October. Counselors can also contact Scott at spower@nhcuc.org or Karissa at hookstadtk@franklinpierce.edu for additional waivers. Students applying at www.commonapp.org should select 'fee waiver' option and mail in their waiver separately. MA College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences – Apply online for free at www.commonapp.org New England College - Paper app fee waivers will be distributed to the high schools through NH Scholars office.
