Creating Opportunities for the Future

Funds Contributing to the 2016 Scholarship & Student Aid Awards

New Mexico’s students embody the power of present and potential opportunities. Our students can create and engage as community partners and contribute to the New Mexico workforce. With our scholarship programs, we aim to uplift and transform lives. Our donors envision a state full of accomplished students, learning what they need to become passionate community partners, inventive and successful.

Many of our scholarship and student aid donors give to honor the memory of a loved one or to promote a field of study or career path that resonates with them. When you create a scholarship or student aid fund at the Foundation, you create an opportunity to improve a student’s life and the lives of their family members for generations to come—forging partnerships across New Mexico communities.

Scholarship and student aid donors value their role in providing education and career development opportunities for a range of learners, including high school students, current college students and non-traditional students (those who may be returning to or starting college after many years). The Foundation offers flexible options for establishing a scholarship or student aid fund based on your desired level of involvement.

During 2016, we awarded $153,000 to new and renewing students. New Mexico is our home—and we can help you build a fund to ensure your neighbors, friends and community members receive the best education. We and our partners are building a future for generations to come.
