The Full Picture in New Hampshire
New Hampshire's Education Freedom Account is technically an ESA, not a voucher — families get an account funded at ~$4,700/year for approved education expenses. The income limit is generous (350% FPL, ~$105K for family of 4). The gap between the $4,700 EFA and $14,200 average tuition is significant — you'll need school-based aid to close it. New Hampshire's boarding schools (Phillips Exeter, St. Paul's) meet full need but are highly selective.
How to Apply for Aid in New Hampshire
Apply for state programs first
Apply through your state's scholarship-granting organizations (SGOs) for tax credit scholarships. These have the biggest awards.
Apply for school-based aid at every school
Most schools use TADS, FACTS, or SSS for financial aid assessment. Apply by January-February for the following school year. School aid stacks with state programs.
Check private scholarship organizations
Local nonprofits, community foundations, and religious organizations often provide additional scholarships. Search "[your city] private school scholarships" for local options.
