Regalia Donations:
Gowns for Grads relies heavily on donations. If you purchase new regalia please consider donating it to Gowns for Grads as it supports your fellow UNH Wildcats! In the effort to remain green on campus, all University of New Hampshire graduates will be wearing environmentally conscious GreenWeaver® regalia. This line of graduation wear is made of fabric spun from molten plastic pellets produced from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic bottles.
There will be a donation box in the Hamel Rec Center following graduation on May 17th, 2025 or you can drop it off anytime on the Durham campus in the Basic Needs Office (MUB 236) or mail it to:

Regalia can also be purchased at the UNH Bookstore

Congratulations Wildcats on your upcoming graduation!
Graduation should be a time of excitement and possibility, not a time to feel burdened by another expense. Graduation is a significant milestone in students' lives. We strive to ensure that financial constraints do not hinder their ability to participate in this important celebration.
We have created a Gowns for Grads program to make regalia available for our students who are unable to purchase regalia on their own. If you are a low-income, Pell Grant recipient, SEFA recipient or cannot afford regalia right now due to financial difficulties, then this program is for you!
Graduation should be a time to reflect and celebrate your amazing accomplishment!
Applications are now closed.
Gown Return Process:
Gowns must be returned by Friday May 23, 2025. to the Basic Needs office (Memorial Union Building room 236) or please note that there will be a donation box in the Hamel Rec Center following graduation on May 17th, 2025.
If you need to return your gown via mail, please email Patty at patty.mathison@unh.edu to let us know that you will be mailing it in.
Mail to Basic Needs c/o Patty Mathison, 83 Main St. MUB 236, Durham, NH 03820
