Here’s some great news in these tough economic times: The Keene Endowment Association’s endowment fund, through gifts and growth, now has an additional $100,000 for student scholarship aid. In 2012, the KEA offered scholarships to 93 students, making a big difference in their lives. The KEA provides more than $220,000 in funds annually to Keene State College, which adds significantly to the funds provided by the college’s other endowed funds, managed through the USNH.
“We are thrilled to be able to offer more financial aid to students who need it. The success of this fund is in keeping with Keene State’s commitment to making a college education as accessible as possible and ultimately helping the state grow and thrive. It is critical that we educate future generations for the wellbeing of the future of New Hampshire,” said Ceil Goff, board chair of Keene Endowment Association.
