If you’re a fan of the Boston Red Sox, you’ve probably noticed ticket prices are one of the highest in the league, Fenway franks are priced as if they are prime rib, and making it to a game can be very difficult. Despite these things, New Hampshire has stayed faithful to its local team. Now, the Red Sox are giving back.

The Red Sox Foundation has announced that it will award a $1,000 scholarship to one student at ten different public high schools in New Hampshire. Eligibility criteria includes demonstrated academic excellence and a commitment to community service, as well as having financial need.

The eligible high schools are:
Concord High School
Dover High School
Keene High School
Londonderry High School
Manchester Central High School
Merrimack Valley
Pinkerton Academy
Portsmouth High School
Salem High School
Spaulding High School

For additional information on applying please visit: http://redsoxfoundation.org/nhscholarships/.  The deadline to apply is March 19th.

Remember, scholarship information for NH students can also be found at:
