  • The KEY Collective is a 501(c)3 organization that provides economically disadvantaged K-12 students on the New Hampshire Seacoast access to out-of-school programming that they might not typically have access to due to financial constraints.

  • The KEY Collective started the #areuin? program, streamlining the eligibility process for obtaining scholarships and discounts for programs offered to students in youth sports and other related activities.

  • We have partner programs that offer free or reduced fees for programs on the Seacoast. Visit the #areuin? program page to see a list of partner programs.

  • Today, the #areuin? program is offered in the Exeter, Hampton, Portsmouth & Seabrook school districts.

    Free Lunch Application‍ ‍ Medicaid Application

  • Your child may qualify for a card if you have a qualified referral made by an approved validator. An approved validator is a professional (school nurse, guidance counselor, doctor, nurse, therapist, social service worker, town welfare manager, etc.) who is familiar with your family’s financial situation. Please have them complete the sign-up form on your child’s behalf.

    Validator Application

  • Our program partners have their own sign-up processes – some are online and some are in person. Please visit the partner’s program page or contact the partner organization directly to learn more. No matter what their process is, you will not be required to provide financial eligibility since the #areuin? card proves eligibility.

  • We’re proud to have the Singlar Family Foundation Scholarship program, created to give youth access to most out-of-school activities and programs that aren’t currently on our partner list. This may include music lessons, karate, dance, art, STEM, and more. All students who participate in the #areuin? program are eligible to apply for the scholarship program. PLEASE NOTE: Scholarship funds do not apply to a program or activity that a child has already enrolled and/or is currently participating in.
