Dear New Hampshire Adult Education Graduate,
If you have passed the GED Tests and earned a New Hampshire Certificate of High School
Equivalency or if you have completed all required credits and received an Adult High School
Diploma, this booklet, New Hampshire College Information for Adult Education Graduates, is for
you.
Congratulations on earning a high school credential! Your effort has led to an important
accomplishment.
We at the Bureau of Adult Education know that many of you plan to continue your education at the
college level. We also know that most of you have many responsibilities that leave little time to
gather college information. This booklet will give you some basic facts about the programs offered
by two-year and four-year colleges in New Hampshire. The booklet also describes other resources
you can use to find out more about making plans for college and about financial aid. Our goal is
to give you a handy reference that can help you consider college possibilities.
Reading this booklet is a good first step, but it’s only a beginning. After you identify a college
that seems like a good fit for you, please look at the college’s website to get more details. Think
of questions you need to ask. Then plan a visit to the college so you can see the location and talk
with admissions representatives.
Best wishes for much success as you continue your education.
Sincerely,
Art Ellison
Administrator
Debbie Tasker
Consultant

New Hampshire Charitable Foundation
The Foundation awards college scholarships and loans. The Foundation’s statement,
below, explains that some of the scholarships go to adult learners.
“While most of our scholarships and loans are awarded to what many of
us think of as ‘traditional’ students entering college, already in college, or
pursuing a graduate degree; the Foundation is continually looking for new
ways to deliver scholarship services to less traditional types of students.
Adults returning to school or exploring training opportunities comprise a
significant (and growing) category of our scholarship and loan awards.”
