Donation to USNH to bolster emergency grant programs

Granite Edvance President and CEO Christiana Thornton spoke with WMUR yesterday, sharing the big news about our $100,000 donation to help students dealing with unexpected financial hardships. The donation will bolster emergency programs already in place at each of the three schools in the University System of New Hampshire. “What the fund did for me was let me … continue my education without that additional burden and stress,” Ama Owusu, a senior at UNH, told WMUR.

FAFSA help

Shawn and Lauren love helping students with the FAFSA! Last week they were at Manchester West High school for a FAFSA event. At this point in the year, they have done events at all four Manchester schools and have been able to serve a large amount of students. They have worked hand in hand with the school counseling teams as well as the GEAR Up coordinators at each school. Not only did they help with all things FAFSA, they were also able to help many students with applying to college as well!
