Athletic Scholarship

The Athletic Scholarship, provided by the New Mexico Higher Education Department, is a state-funded financial aid program designed for student-athletes. This scholarship is available to New Mexico residents who are pursuing a college education within the state. The program helps students cover the costs of attending higher education institutions without the burden of repayment, unlike student loans.

To qualify for this state aid, applicants must meet specific eligibility requirements, which typically include demonstrating financial need, maintaining a minimum grade point average, and completing a required number of credit hours each semester. Students should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the state's equivalent financial aid application to establish their financial need. For information regarding application procedures and to see the official page for current dates, students should consult the New Mexico Higher Education Department.
