Charge into the Future
The
Charge into the Future initiative gives West Haven High School
graduates the opportunity to receive half-tuition scholarships if they are accepted to
and attend UNH as a full-time undergraduate. This program is also in its
second year.
The scholarship is renewable
for four years. Students are still eligible to receive additional
merit-based and need-based scholarships and grants.

Charging Ahead
The Charging
Ahead program, now in its second year, offers WHHS students a chance to
take a more rigorous class for free, as well as sample the academic
resources and student activities of a college campus. WHHS students who
successfully complete the class receive college credit.
Westies take
the UNH class while still carrying a full WHHS courseload.The program
receives new participants twice a year: once for the fall semester and
again for the spring semester.
Students must
qualify based on grades, and those who are interested in participating
must fill out an application, answer short essay questions and receive a
teacher recommendation. WHHS notifies all students who are eligible for
Charging Ahead and collects applications from those who are interested.
Participants
are then chosen from a lottery system and select one course each from a
list of introductory classes on topics such as criminal justice, human communications, world
history, economics and sociology.
They can drive themselves to the UNH campus after their classes end at WHHS, or take a school bus.
