Financial Aid & Scholarships Introduction

The Financial Aid Division is dedicated to helping students find money to attend college. We provide approximately $70 million dollars every year in financial aid to students in New Mexico. We offer a variety of programs to meet the needs of our state’s diverse population. The following types of financial aid are available:
  • Legislative Lottery Scholarship
  • Legislative Lottery Scholarship FAQs
  • Scholarships
  • Grants
  • Work-Study
  • Loan-for-Service Programs
  • Loan Repayment Programs
 

Financial Aid Division Goals

  • To inform students in New Mexico that college is attainable and affordable

  • To provide students and their families with the consumer information needed to make informed decisions about financing an education

  • To make information about our financial aid programs accessible to all who qualify

  • To provide funding to pay for educational expenses for as many New Mexican students as possible

  • We also strive to keep the process of applying for state financial aid easy. With the exception of our Loan-for-Service programs, there are no separate state applications that must be submitted. Simply apply for financial aid by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

  • For more information about available federal financial aid also visit www.studentaid.ed.gov
