Despite the many scholarships available to students, it can be hard to find the perfect scholarship for you. Sometimes the scholarships that seem perfect have that one requirement that you can’t meet. Other times, the perfect scholarship has so many requirements that students get discouraged. However, College Raptor’s many articles attempt to assist students in finding the scholarship that best fits their goals, with easy to meet requirements. In this case, the perfect scholarship may have qualifications surrounding the state you know as home.
New Hampshire’s state motto sounds somewhat like a tagline for a Die Hard film–“Live Free or Die.” This small state packs a big punch, however, and was the first colony to establish a government independent of Great Britain. In addition to that, it was also the 9th state to ratify the Constitution, which brought the document into effect. If you call this unique state home or plan to study there, take a look below for some scholarship opportunities.
