"The Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE) announced that New Hampshire has been chosen as one of four new states to participate in the national State Scholars Initiative (SSI)." (New Hampshire Department of Education's News and Events.)

The National State Scholars Initiative is a proposal by the WICHE that aims to make more of a connection between education and the business world in New Hampshire and at large. Such a proposal suggests those with the power to change education are beginning to realize how truly important quality education is to the future of New Hampshire.

By being selected for this initiative, New Hampshire will be awarded $300,000 to implement this program in up to 4 school districts. This increase in funding will certainly aid increases in New Hampshire teaching salaries now and for years to come.

We encourage you to explore what each school district has to offer you, take into consideration the area in which you wish to live and do the math to see if you will be satisfied. Good luck!
