Ayotte Proposes $5.5M Tuition Assistance Program for New Hampshire Students
What happened
Kelly Ayotte released a proposal called the Community College Promise Program, which would provide tuition assistance for some students in New Hampshire’s community colleges. The plan would cover remaining tuition expenses for in-state students with a family income of up to $100,000. If approved by lawmakers, the grants would begin next fall.

Why it matters
The proposal would require an estimated $5.5 million per year in state general funds. This comes as New Hampshire ranked last nationally for public higher education funding in a 2025 analysis. In-state tuition in the state is currently more than $7,000 for full-time students.
