Scholarship Details
- Two scholarships of $1,000 will be awarded, one to an undergraduate and another to a graduate student. This equates to $500 for the Fall 2024 semester and $500 for the Spring 2025 semester. Funds must be used within the 2024-2025 academic year. So, if applicants do not take courses during one of the semesters, they will only receive the award for the semester they're enrolled in.
- There is a two-time limit for applicant awards. Therefore, those who have already won the UNM Parent & Family Association Scholarship twice before, will not be eligible.
