New Hampshire Scholars is a community-based program that encourages students to take a more rigorous Core Course of Study in high school.  It is based on a partnership between a community's local chamber of commerce and its school district.  New Hampshire Scholars is federally-funded through the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Adult and Vocational Education, and administered in New Hampshire through a partnership between the New Hampshire College and University Council, the New Hampshire Forum on the Future, the New Hampshire Department of Education.  New Hampshire Scholars is part of the National State Scholars Initiative Network administered by the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE).
