Providing scholarship assistance to future design professionals is an important part of the work that supports the mission of AIA New Hampshire. AIANH has made scholarships available to university-level students since 2007. Scholarships of varying amounts may be awarded at the discretion of the Scholarship Committee. Each year the chapter awards several scholarships in amounts from $500 - $5,000 to worthy New Hampshire students who are studying in-state or at colleges and universities across the country.
