Wartime & Vietnam Veterans Scholarship

The Wartime and Vietnam Veterans Scholarship is a state-funded financial aid program administered by the New Mexico Higher Education Department. This scholarship is designed specifically for New Mexico residents who have served in the military during wartime or the Vietnam War. It helps eligible veterans cover the costs of attending college in the state without the need to repay the funds.

To qualify, applicants must meet specific state residency requirements and other eligibility criteria, which may include demonstrating financial need, maintaining a minimum grade point average, or completing a required number of credit hours each semester. Students interested in this program should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or any required state financial aid applications to establish their eligibility. Because deadlines and specific application procedures can vary, candidates should check the official page for current dates and detailed instructions on how to apply.
