New Mexico Tech, through the gracious donations of our scholarship donors, is able to offer NMT students endowed scholarships; these
scholarships are in addition to NMT merit scholarships. Each endowed scholarship
has its own criteria and deadline. If the scholarship has specific criteria, and
it appears that the student meets the criteria, they will receive an invitation to
apply via campus e-mail. Endowed scholarships that are administered through the Financial
Aid Office are posted on this page, and flyers are posted around campus when applications
are open. All applications will close at 5:00 p.m. on their closing date.
Important: All postings are subject to change.
Currently available scholarships will have an active application tab and a future
deadline date. (updated 09/03/2020)
