It is that time of year again, the time for the ALA Board members, friends, family and staff of Granite State College to participate in several fundraising events to raise money to enable the offering of $1,000 scholarships to up to ten students working towards their adult college degree at our unique NH State College.
To be considered for an Alumni Merit Scholarship, GSC students:
• Must be an undergraduate enrolled in a degree program, or a student enrolled in the Post-Baccalaureate Teacher
Certification Program.
• Must have completed a minimum of twenty-four credits at Granite State College.
• Must have completed a minimum of four terms at Granite State College.
• Must have a 3.5 grade-point average or better.
I was one of the lucky ten who received this scholarship in 2009. It enabled me to be able to take an extra course that year and graduate the following June with my classmates. Last year I participated in the fund raising phone-a-thon as a way to “pay-it-forward” to the next generation of scholarship recipients. This past weekend I once again spent my Sunday afternoon at the Granite State College Concord NH college campus to reach out and call past donors and alumni to ask for their contribution to this great cause. This year was no different than last; the generosity of the alumni, staff and faculty of Granite State College is heartwarming to say the least. Many of those currently experiencing difficult times still offered to donate $10.00 and those in better circumstances asked to increase their donation amount from last year.
Thank you to all of those I spoke with this past weekend. Your generosity, commitment and well wishes to the current students of GSC working towards their own adult college degree are well received and appreciated.
