Granite Guarantee at Keene State

Our Pledge to Your Education

The Granite Guarantee at Keene State covers the cost of tuition for all New Hampshire students who are Pell eligible and enrolling at KSC for the first time. This program bridges the gap between a recipient’s total federal and state aid, institutional gift aid and the cost of in-state tuition ($11,754 for 2023-24). Qualified students must be enrolled full-time for both the Fall and the Spring semesters.

Ongoing Support

Granite Guarantee eligible students will receive continued support throughout their four years at KSC as long as they:

• Remain continuously enrolled at KSC for all four years
• Remain enrolled full-time (12 credits or more each term)
• Remain Pell-eligible, as determined by the FAFSA
• Continue making satisfactory academic progress toward a degree
• Complete a renewal FAFSA by the March 1 deadline
