## About this scholarship

The New Mexico Native American Tuition Scholarship, administered by the New Mexico Higher Education Department, provides financial assistance to help eligible students cover the cost of attending college. This program is specifically available to New Mexico residents. Because it is a state-funded scholarship, recipients do not need to repay the funds they receive, provided they meet all ongoing requirements. 

To qualify for this state aid, students typically must demonstrate financial need, maintain a minimum grade point average, or complete a specific number of credit hours each semester. Applicants should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or any required state financial aid forms to establish their eligibility and financial need. The funding works in conjunction with these applications to determine the student's overall financial package. For information regarding application deadlines, candidates should see the official page for current dates.
