Alumni Scholarship Program
The Neighborhood Homework House began its Alumni Scholarship Program in order to support their students as they transition to higher education. Scholarships are distributed to current NHH high school seniors who plan to attend college after graduation or for individuals who currently attend college and attended Neighborhood Homework House as a student. The program is dedicated to seeing the NHH Alumni reach their academic and career goals by providing mentorship, networking, and financial support through our amazing donors.

Being a part of the scholarship program at Neighborhood Homework House has opened many doors in my education career. I appreciate the support of those who value higher education and who made it possible for me to continue my education during financial hardships. I thank the program and donors for believing in my vision because programs like these students like myself can pursue their dreams.
