KSC Fund
Your Generosity at Work
 Jarett Miller ’14, a Biology major from Portsmouth, NH, spent this summer immersed in a 10-week research program through an undergraduate research fellowship from New Hampshire IDeA Network of Biological Research Excellence (NH-INBRE). A dedicated scientist, Jarett also enjoys writing fiction and poetry and hopes to study abroad during his college career. Upon graduation, he will pursue an advanced degree in microbiology. Keene State College has shown Jarett the importance of embracing new opportunities.

44% of KSC freshmen are first-generation – the first in their family to attend college. 90% of students request financial assistance, and 78% receive some level of aid. However, only 15.7% say their needs are met in full. The current New Hampshire state budget reductions have reduced support to KSC by more than $6 million. This year, your gift is more important than ever for KSC students. The elimination of state financial aid grants to NH students leaves an additional financial aid gap of $500,000 for our students. Your gift, of any size, will make a difference to students like Jarett and Kristin and the thousands of other students at Keene State College. Questions? Please contact:
