Student Aid

The Foundation’s scholarship programs are each as unique as the donor who established them. But they all have one thing in common. They support New Mexico students to achieve their academic goals by alleviating the financial barriers many students face.

In 2020, the Foundation awarded over $152,000 in student aid to 112 students throughout the state, through our 23 scholarship programs. Awards ranged from $500 to $4,000. All deadlines for these programs were extended due to the pandemic and committees conducted their application reviews online.
