NHCFAE Foundation FAAmilia Scholarship Program
APPLICATION FILING PERIOD: February 15 – May 1st
The NHCFAE champions the pursuit of higher education and supports students with merit-based scholarships. In 2018, the Coalition created the NHCFAE Charitable Foundation as a way to support the education of members and their families, and to replace the NHCFAE FEEA Scholarship.
Scholarship Awards: Depending on the amount of funding raised prior to award, scholarships will be no lower than $500 for one year of academic study at an accredited college or university. The scholarship is not renewable, however, applicants may apply every year they are eligible, whether or not they received an award in the past. All scholarships are subject to availability of funding.
