The Children's Scholarship Fund (CSF), an approved scholarship-granting organization in New Hampshire, will celebrate the impact of the state’s education tax credit law in providing scholarships for low-income students with a reception at the Grappone Conference Center in Concord from 5 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, January 28.

The event is timed to coincide with National School Choice Week (January 24-30, 2016), the largest series of education-related events in U.S. history.

The reception will spotlight the children and families who benefit from scholarships funded through the New Hampshire Education Tax Credit Scholarship Program and previously managed by the Network for Educational Opportunity. CSF will now administer these scholarships in the Granite State.

CSF is a national organization with a network of partner programs across the country and an 18-year track record of success, providing scholarships that empower low-income families to choose the schools that best fit their children’s needs, regardless of their income or ZIP code. Since its inception in 1998, CSF has awarded more than $654 million in scholarships to the families of 152,000 low-income children.

At the event, scholarship recipients and parents from New Hampshire will be on hand to share the program’s impact on their lives, and CSF President Darla M. Romfo will deliver remarks about the program.

“This reception marks a new chapter for parental choice in New Hampshire, and we are so excited to host it during National School Choice Week, when parents and students all over the country are celebrating their education options,” said Kate Baker, executive director of CSF’s New Hampshire operations. Baker added, “Across the nation, these scholarships are changing lives, empowering families to put their children on the path to a brighter future.”

The event is expected to draw more than 50 CSF supporters, scholarship recipient families, legislators, school choice activists, and others.
