NMT Endowed Scholarships

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 07/27/2022)
