Different Roots, Common Dreams Scholarship Fund

Since 2012, NH photographer Becky Field has documented the lives of immigrant and refugee families in the state to share their rich cultural diversity and honor their contributions to our communities. A former university professor, Becky noticed the strong emphasis these families put on education. Yet students who excelled in high school often lack the financial resources to complete a four-year degree. So Becky partnered with the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation to establish the Different Roots, Common Dreams Scholarship Fund to help those of any age who came to New Hampshire as refugees or immigrants and want to pursue a four-year undergraduate degree.
