The NH Child Care Scholarship Weekly Standard Rate is based on the child’s age in months, provider type, and the authorized level of service, and is paid on a weekly basis.

NH Child Care Scholarship terminates for children turning 13 years old effective on their birthday.

A child under the age of 72 months, regardless of the family’s Step level, cannot receive NH Child Care Scholarship if the child attends a License-Exempt Child Care Center.

Exception: A child may continue to be eligible for NH Child Care Scholarship up to age 18 if the child is experiencing a significant special need* whose condition limits the child’s ability to care* for him/herself or would cause harm to him/herself or others without supervision. See Section 941.01, Required Verification for a Child Experiencing Significant Special Needs.
