UNH Office of International Students & Scholars

Last week, we welcomed a wonderful group of new international students to University of New Hampshire campus for Orientation!

Thank you for making it such a fantastic week—and a huge shoutout to our talented group of Orientation Leaders for their enthusiasm, leadership and support.

Thank you for your generous support of OISS! Your contributions make a tremendous impact, helping us foster a globally connected community and support international students in meaningful ways.

As we approach the final day of the 603 Challenge, there’s still time to make a difference! If you’d like to take part in this Grand Finale Bonus Challenge, we would love to hear from you and express our gratitude for being part of our mission.

Join Us in Supporting International Students Through the "603 Challenge"!

This year, the UNH "603 Challenge" offers a unique opportunity to support our international students and scholars. As the Director of the Office of International Students and Scholars, I witness the challenges these students face. Your generous contribution will directly fund scholarships, emergency assistance, and program support, helping our international students thrive academically.

Exciting News! We have $250,000 available to match gifts up to $250 per donor until matching funds run out. This means your donation can have double the impact!

Your gift not only provides financial support but also fosters a globally engaged community at UNH. By investing in international students, you help cultivate alumni who will make meaningful contributions worldwide.

Join us in making a difference. Donate to the Office of International Students and Scholars through the "603 Challenge" and empower our international students to achieve their educational goals.

Thank you for your support!

Best regards, Abe Schafermeyer Director, Office of International Students and Scholars University of New Hampshire
