The Jeff Sessions Student Scholarship Application

This scholarship was created in 2007 to support high school students in New Hampshire and Vermont that are headed to college to study STEM. Since then, we have awarded $370K to 93 students!


**This year we are opening up the scholarship to all courses of study and students of all ages, including two-year associates degrees, nursing programs, trade schools, and certification programs.**


Students must demonstrate qualities of good citizenship and must submit an essay on one of the topics provided. No Chat GPT or other AI allowed – we want to hear from you in your own words!


We rate each submission by the creativity and overall quality of the essay, extent of the student’s financial need, involvement with extracurricular activities and volunteer work, and whether their grades reflect they are a conscientious student.


Questions? Contactinfo@serveandsucceed.org.


If teacher recommendations are not available to the student, please email them to info@serveandsucceed.org.


The deadline for submission is Friday, April 24, 2026.
