Scholarships are available on a competitive basis to students who

years of one of the nine Seacoast communities in the foundation’s
service area (Portsmouth, Newington, New Castle, Greenland, Rye,
and North Hampton, NH; Kittery, Eliot, and York, Maine.)
Awards are based primarily on academic achievement and potential
as demonstrated by test scores, rank in class or grade-point averages,
difficulty of course selection, and commitment to the field of health.
Financial need is not a consideration.
