CCSNH now provides multiple programs, that can be combined, to offset educational expenses as students complete ECE Certificates and Degrees.
CCSNH ECE GAP Scholarship supports costs for students, living and/or working in NH, who are enrolled in one of CCSNH’s ECE certificate or degree programs. Details about specific programs, and contacts for each college, can be found at the bottom of this page.
We regret share that CCSNH will no longer have access to DHHS sponsored ECTA funding. The state of New Hampshire has redesignated these funds preventing us from awarding scholarships beyond Early Summer Term, 2025. Please consider exploring alternative scholarship opportunities through your college as you continue your educational journey in the field of Early Childhood. We are grateful for the more than 20 years of access to these funds which has allowed us to support students like you and we look forward to finding new ways to continue to do so in the future.
