The Community College/Trade School Scholarship

The Community College/Trade School Scholarship is established to help students attend a two-year community college or a vocational school. F.L.O.W. recognizes not all students want or need to go to a four-year institution to accomplish their next step in education. A two-year community college offers a variety of educational programs that can lead to earning an associates degree or a certification. A vocational school is any educational institution that is specifically geared toward helping students get employment-ready skills and knowledge for particular occupations.

Examples of schools include, but are not limited to the following.  Schools located in other states are acceptable options.

• Concord Regional Technical Center

• Empire Beauty Schools of New Hampshire

• Great Bay Community College

• Lakes Region Community College

• Manchester Community College

• Manchester School of Technology

• Nashua Community College

• Nashua Technical Center

• NHTI

• NH Real Estate School

• River Valley Community College

• The New Hampshire School of Mechanical Trades 

• White Mountains Community College

Award Amount: $2,000

Non-Traditional/Returning to College Scholarship

Non-traditional students fall outside the preconceived norms for college-bound students. General wisdom has it that high school graduates who wish to pursue a college education do so directly after graduation, completing a seamless transition into post-secondary education. But there are many paths to higher education, and they do not all conform to the same map. Many students choose to postpone college or move directly into the workforce bypassing a university education altogether. It is only later that they decide to pursue a higher education, either to improve their professional opportunities or to expand their general knowledge. Still, other students may have had their college careers interrupted, either by growing families or financial difficulties and only later return to complete what they had started. 

Award Amount: $1,000
