Financial Aid Division Staff 

• Financial Aid & Scholarship Introduction

  
  

  The Financial Aid Division is dedicated to helping students find money to attend college.  We provide approximately $87 million dollars every year in financial aid to students in New Mexico.  We offer a variety of programs to meet the needs of our state’s diverse population.
  
  
   

  Financial Aid Division Goals

  • To inform students in New Mexico that college is attainable and affordable

  • To provide students and their families with the consumer information needed to make informed decisions about financing an education
  • To make information about our financial aid programs accessible to all who qualify
  • To provide funding to pay for educational expenses for as many New Mexican students as possible
  • We also strive to keep the process of applying for state financial aid easy.  With the exception of our Loan-for-Service programs, there are no separate state applications that must be submitted.  Simply apply for financial aid by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid(FAFSA).
