New Hampshire Scholars is part of the National State Scholars Initiative Network. Twenty-five states across the country participate in this national initiative.

Northern New England Campus Compact AmeriCorps*VISTA Collaboration

The Northern New England AmeriCorps*VISTA Collaboration is comprised of the Campus Compact state affiliates in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont.  The collaboration is based on mutual interest in supporting service and service-learning focused on anti-poverty measures across the more than seventy colleges and universities in our collective memberships.  The goal of our VISTA project is focused on the development of programming on campuses across Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont that will increase access and retention to higher education for low income individuals by providing programming focused on improving college aspirations, promoting the belief that college is an option and increasing access to higher education for low income individuals seeking higher education.

AmeriCorps*VISTA is a national service program in which volunteers apply their skills in underserved communities, designing programs that will continue after they complete their service.  Part of the AmeriCorps national network of service programs, AmeriCorps*VISTA has been meeting the needs of communities since 1965.
