Welcome to the Western New Mexico University Foundation Scholarship Opportunities Homepage

Scholarships are NOW open!

How to Apply

• First Time User?: Click sign up in the top right corner. Please note that it is necessary for you to REMEMBER your login information – it will be required for you to monitor your status and to accept any award(s).
• All Users: Click Sign-in & Complete the General Application and, if applicable, apply for additional specific scholarships as ‘RECOMMENDED’ opportunities.

How Does This Work?:
Upon completion of the General Application, you will be auto-matched with scholarships for which you meet the criteria. These scholarships indicate “None” under “Action” and require no additional information from you for consideration.
A limited number of scholarships indicate “Apply” under “Action” and require you to submit specific information for you to be considered. A list of these scholarships can be found by viewing Recommended Opportunities from the Opportunities tab.

Important Information:
What to Expect After Applying
• Once you submit your application, you will receive a confirmation email. If you do not receive this email, you have not completed the application process and will not be considered for applicable scholarships.
• When your application is submitted, you will be automatically matched to the scholarships for which you meet the minimum requirements. Scholarship committees will then review individual applications in order to make selection decisions.
• You will receive an email from the scholarship committee ONLY if you are selected for a scholarship – Most departments and scholarship committees will notify students by mid-April or after Spring grades are final.

Deadline: Application Priority Deadline: January 31st, 2026

Award: Actual award amounts can vary based on recipient eligibility, available funds, and other factors. Scholarship awards range from $50 to full tuition. There is no guarantee, but by applying, you will have an opportunity to be selected to receive an award.
