NO TUITION FOR QUALIFIED
IN-STATE STUDENTS
Our commitment to your education
The Granite Guarantee covers the cost of tuition for
all first-time, first-year, Pell Grant-eligible New
Hampshire students.
Launched during CELEBRATE 150: The Campaign
for UNH, marking the university’s 150th anniversary,
this new program bridges the financial gap between
a Pell Grant recipient’s total federal and state aid
package and the cost of in-state tuition.
The requirements are simple. Qualified students must enroll full-time for both the
fall and spring semesters and meet all financial aid
application deadlines.
There is no paperwork
Accepted New Hampshire students who are Pell
Grant-eligible automatically receive the Granite
Guarantee benefit. All they have to do is:
• Apply to UNH at unh.edu/apply
• Apply for Financial Aid at unh.edu/financialaid
Ongoing support
Granite Guarantee aid renews automatically,
provided students:
• Remain at UNH for all four years
• Remain a New Hampshire resident
• Remain enrolled full-time
• Maintain federal Pell Grant eligibility
• Continue to make satisfactory progress toward a degree
• Meet annual financial aid application deadlines
A significant achievement
The Granite Guarantee is a significant achievement
toward our goal of making a UNH education attainable
for every New Hampshire student. UNH hopes to
expand the Granite Guarantee to more New
Hampshire students in the future.
Will I still have student loans?
Eligible students may still seek loans to help pay for
non-tuition expenses such as fees, room and board
and books.
