The scholarship is sponsored by Miguel Bisono, an independent State Farm agent, as part of an ongoing commitment to supporting local students and strengthening the Nashua, New Hampshire community.

In today’s society, it’s crucial to encourage students to be “Good Neighbors” and to demonstrate integrity, perseverance, work ethic, and a desire to make a positive impact on the world. Too often, effort and character go unrecognized, with academic performance being the sole factor considered in many scholarship competitions. 

This scholarship seeks to support graduating seniors who show leadership, responsibility, and a strong commitment to giving back to their community.

Any high school senior at Nashua High School North or Nashua High School South in New Hampshire who demonstrates strong character, responsibility, and a genuine commitment to making a positive impact in their community may apply for this scholarship opportunity. Applicants may be planning to attend a university, community college, trade or technical school, or an accredited certificate program. The ideal applicant must strive to be a “Good Neighbor” by helping others, contributing to their school or local community, and taking ownership of their goals—whether through employment, volunteer work, family responsibilities, athletics, or leadership roles. Students with financial need or non-traditional educational paths are encouraged to apply, as are those planning careers in skilled trades, healthcare, business, technology, or other in-demand fields are strongly encouraged to apply.

To apply, tell us what being a “Good Neighbor” means to you and how you’ll use your education or trade to make a difference with your family, community, or others around you.
