Program Description
Program Description
Part of the National State Scholars Initiative Network, the NH Scholars initiative has been adopted in over 70 high schools throughout New Hampshire thus far. The aim of NH Scholars is to ensure that students will graduate better prepared for college and career by exceeding high school graduation requirements and understanding the growing importance of attaining high level skills. The program is based on a partnership between a community's local business leaders and its school district. The business community is invited to participate by providing material support, mentors, academic support and experiential learning opportunities to students enrolled in the program.
