Several organizations provide scholarship support to candidates pursuing National Board Certification. For more information, visit the Scholarship page.

• The state of New Hampshire has signed the 2005-2010 NASDTEC Interstate Contract and will award their highest level certificate to any person who has obtained National Board Certification in an area corresponding to that for which certification is sought, provided the applicant also holds a comparable and valid certificate issued by any Member state and has complied with any requirements of the receiving state regarding experience, degrees held, citizenship, and moral, ethical, physical, and mental fitness, and completion of any post-baccalaureate study required by the receiving Member.

It is possible that your school district or local businesses may offer financial support and/or incentives for National Board Certification. Please check your school, your school district’s Web site or your state program administrator for more information.
