Call for University Community Scholarship Nominations/Applications
Through generous donations from members of our own UNH community, the 12th
University Community Scholarship will be awarded this coming April. This year’s award
is approximately $4,800. The size of the endowment that supports the scholarship is now
$130,200. We can all take pride in how successful we have been in building this
endowment.
This scholarship, which reflects the commitment and dedication of all members of the
university community, will be awarded to UNH-Durham or UNH-Manchester students.
This is your opportunity to nominate a deserving undergraduate or graduate student or, if
you are a student, apply for the scholarship award. An application is on the back of this
notice. Please fill it out carefully, and note the deadlines and instructions.
Awards are based on academic merit and community involvement. The selection
committee is particularly interested in community involvement beyond paid employment
and efforts on behalf of academic requirements. The award may be renewed for up to
four years; however, the student must re-apply each year. The selection committee
includes a faculty member, a PAT staff member, an Operating Staff member, an
Extension Educator and a principal administrator.
Once again, our sincere thanks to all members of the University community who
committed their time, energy, and financial resources in support of this scholarship effort.
We continue to strive toward our goal of 100 percent participation from members of the
university community.
If you have not yet made your gift to the Fund, it’s not too late! You may send your gift
via campus or U.S. mail to the University Community Scholarship Fund, c/o UNH
Foundation, Elliott Alumni Center, 9 Edgewood Road, Durham, NH, 03824-1987.
