"I cannot express my gratitude enough to the alumni and friends who chose to invest in the future of SNHU students."

What made you choose Southern New Hampshire University, and what do you value most about your experience here?

I chose Southern New Hampshire University because I prioritize community and affordability! As a long-time Manchester resident, I feel privileged to have created meaningful relationships with community partners connected to the university. My experiences here have shaped me into who I am, and helped me learn that community is an invaluable pillar of my life.

How do the scholarships and financial aid you receive make it possible for you to attend SNHU? How have they made a difference for you?

The aid that I have received has made it possible to attend SNHU. Without the generosity of donors, I would have to dedicate less time to my studies and involvement in the institution, and more time to working long hours to cover my tuition costs. This scholarship has allowed me to be an active participant in my own education and community.

What message would you like to share with the alumni and friends whose generosity made your scholarship possible?

I cannot express my gratitude enough to the alumni and friends who chose to invest in the future of SNHU students. Your generosity will help me plan ahead for my future in New Hampshire!
