Saint Anselm College offers free tuition for qualifying NH residents

Saint Anselm College announced on Monday its pledge to offer free tuition to students from New Hampshire whose families make less than $100,000 and have a GPA of 3.25 or higher.
The initiative aims to offset the cost of college and make education more accessible to New Hampshire residents.
“Saint Anselm is pledging to support New Hampshire’s students with access to a high-quality, private education tuition-free,” a press release from the college stated.
Qualifying students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and reside at the college’s campus in Manchester and Goffstown. This year the liberal arts school enrolled the second-highest class in its history, with 579 first-year students and 48 transfers arriving on campus.
“We understand the cost of a college education is challenging for so many families,” Saint Anselm president Joseph A. Favazza. “With Anselmian Community Commitment, we are investing in the future of New Hampshire by making a Saint Anselm education affordable to as many talented, high-achieving students as possible, regardless of their socioeconomic background. This commitment is completely aligned with our Catholic and Benedictine mission.”

There’s something special about New Hampshire, and honestly, we felt it right away.

Iconic Diners in New Hampshire
There’s just something about a diner… the coffee that never stops coming, the same booth people have probably been sitting in for 30 years, and a breakfast that somehow hits every single time.
As I’ve been getting to know New Hampshire, one thing became very clear — this state LOVES its diners. And not just any diners… we’re talking iconic, been-here-forever, locals-swear-by-it kind of places.
So I went down the rabbit hole (and got very hungry in the process) and pulled together some of the most iconic diners across the Granite State.
Did we get your favorite? Or are you already mad we missed one? 😅
