Grants & Scholarships

Southern New Hampshire University offers several types of need and non-need based grants and scholarships to help you meet the cost of a university education. To be eligible for federal grants and to demonstrate need, students are required to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Grants and scholarships do not need to be repaid.

Grants

Federal Pell Grant
Federal Pell Grants are awarded on a sliding scale up to $5,920 per year to students with exceptional financial need as demonstrated through the filing of the FAFSA. Applicants must be enrolled in an undergraduate degree program and not already have obtained a baccalaureate degree. Student eligibility is determined by your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) and grant amounts are determined annually by the U.S. Department of Education and recalculated each academic term for a student's enrollment status based off of actual attended credits.

Students who are eligible to receive a Federal Pell Grant will have a lifetime limit of twelve full-time semesters or six full years of eligibility. The Lifetime Eligibility Used includes all Federal Pell grant payments received at prior colleges or universities in addition to those received while at SNHU.

You are not eligible to receive a Federal Pell Grant if you are incarcerated in a federal or state penal institution or are subject to an involuntary civil commitment upon completion of a period of incarceration for a forcible or nonforcible sexual offense.

Southern New Hampshire University is currently participating in the Dual Enrollment experiment authorized by the Department of Education to provide Federal Pell Grant awards only to high school students enrolled in select SNHU undergraduate degree program. Any Pell grant funds received under this experiment apply toward the student's Lifetime Eligibility Used.

Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant
Federal Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grants are awarded to students who are not eligible for a Federal Pell Grant on the basis of the Expected Family Contribution (EFC), but meet the remaining Federal Pell Grant eligibility requirements, and:

Whose parent or guardian was a member of the U.S. armed forces and died as a result of military service performed in Iraq or Afghanistan after the events of 9/11, and
Who was under the age of 24 years or enrolled in college at least part-time at the time of your parent's or guardian's death.

Eligibility is confirmed through a Department of Defense database match through the filing of the FAFSA. The grant award is equal to the amount of a maximum Federal Pell Grant for the current award year.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)
FSEOG is a campus-based federal grant program with awards ranging from $100 to $1,000 per year, depending on the student's program and availability of funds. Grants are awarded to the first selection group of students who demonstrate exceptional financial need through the filing of the FAFSA and who also receive Federal Pell Grants.

State Grants and UNIQUE
State grant funding is received by SNHU from various surrounding states to assist resident students with the cost of education. Students should contact their home state agencies to see if they qualify for state assistance at Southern New Hampshire University. To identify your state education agency to understand available programs, please go to State Financial Aid Programs.

New Hampshire Residents: The state of New Hampshire does not have a state grant program. However, students may qualify for the UNIQUE program. The Unique Scholarship program is comprised of two scholarship programs:

The UNIQUE Annual Allocation program provides increased equal access and choice for deserving needy New Hampshire residents as demonstrated through the filing of the FAFSA at a participating New Hampshire institution; and
The UNIQUE Endowment Allocation program that provides qualifying New Hampshire institutions with allocations to restricted endowments for awards to New Hampshire residents.
