I forget if I ever told you about this, but back in 2000, Grammy and I created a four year scholarship to help students from Somersworth High School (where we went as well as your Dad & Aunt Nicole) attend the University of New Hampshire.<\/p>\n

It’s called the “Beaupre Entrepreneurial Scholarship.<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

It’s different from traditional scholarships which are usually focused on a student’s academic performance, class rank, etc.\u00a0 The Beaupre scholarship rewards students who have consistently demonstrated the attributes and characteristics of entrepreneurship such as personal motivation, drive, making things happen, etc.<\/p>\n

As you know, Grammy and I started our own company – in 1983 – and built it into a success story.\u00a0 We employed many people and built a supportive, honest, fulfilling work culture.\u00a0 We also built an incredible reputation for delivering results for our clients.<\/p>\n

Our scholarship is guided by a favorite quote of mine which was displayed on my office wall for decades:<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can’t find them, make them.\u201d<\/h1>\n

\u2015 George Bernard Shaw<\/a>\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

This week I went to UNH to meet the latest winner of the Beaupre Entrepreneurial Scholarship – Kaitlyn Grant.\u00a0 She’s a sweet, kind and creative young woman majoring in Studio Art.\u00a0 It feels good helping others.<\/p>\n
