Graduate Scholarship

New Mexico Higher Education Department

The Graduate Scholarship was created to increase graduate enrollment at public post-secondary institutions for students from groups underrepresented in graduate education. Priority will be given to New Mexico students from those groups with the most severe under-representation and students with the greatest financial need. Applicants must be a citizen of the U.S. or be a permanent resident, as well as agree to serve in an unpaid internship or assistantship at the eligible institution, a government agency or private industry approved by his major department for ten hours per week during the academic year. Students shall contact their institution’s financial aid office for application instruction.
