It has been an inspiring season for education freedom in New Hampshire – one defined by expanding opportunity, powerful storytelling, and a shared belief that every child deserves a learning environment where they can truly thrive.
At the Children’s Scholarship Fund New Hampshire (CSFNH), we’ve witnessed this transformation firsthand. From parents finding the right school for the first time, to students discovering new paths to success, the stories behind this movement remind us why education freedom matters. And as those students grow, graduate, and carry their experiences forward, they’re helping shape the future of this work in meaningful new ways.
A New Chapter: The Freedom Alumni Network
CSFNH is proud to announce the launch of the Freedom Alumni Network (FAN) – a new initiative connecting graduates of our scholarship programs with one another and with the next generation of students.
Founding members of FAN will help guide this community from the ground up: sharing their stories, offering mentorship, and continuing the legacy of opportunity that began with their own scholarship journey. The Freedom Alumni Network will also serve as a bridge – linking today’s students with tomorrow’s leaders and ensuring that the values behind education freedom remain personal, local, and lasting.
If you’re a CSFNH graduate, we invite you to join and become part of this exciting new chapter. Join the Freedom Alumni Network (FAN)

The movement behind education freedom is also gaining traction in the research and policy world. In the article “Unleashing Education Freedom’s True Potential” published by Education Next, New Hampshire is singled out as “the star” among states expanding universal existing funding eligibility for choice programs. The piece observes that New Hampshire’s EFA program now “offers a choice program with universal funded eligibility paired with universal eligibility and options.” Read the full article here
