Granite Guarantee at Keene State
Our Pledge to Your Education
The Granite Guarantee at Keene State covers the cost of tuition for all first-time, first-year Pell Grant-eligible New Hampshire students enrolled for the first time in the 2021-22 academic year. 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 2021-22). Qualified students must be enrolled full-time for both the Fall 2021 and the Spring 2022 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
