补助计划

The UNH 父母 Council awards grants to student organizations and individual students for projects that benefit scholarship, student learning, enhancement of UNH and the university community. The maximum award is $4,000 for student organizations and $1,000 for individual students. The awards are given 只有 to proposals that are intended to have an impact on the university community and not typically undertaken by the university itself. Funds are often used as seed money or as matching money for projects. Because money for these awards is funded by endowments with gifts from UNH Durham undergraduate parents, the awards are 只有 available to currently-enrolled UNH Durham undergraduate groups. Late submissions will not be accepted. Call 862-2053 for more information.
