Grants and scholarships are one of many ways to pay for your college education. In an effort to recognize academic achievement, service, and talent, scholarships are awarded each year to many deserving students. In addition to the institutional aid that Northern New Mexico College offers, there are many "outside" scholarships available through local businesses and organizations. We recommend checking for scholarships through your local community (schools, chamber of commerce, etc.) first.
A FAFSA must be received for each student who wishes to be considered for any need-based aid.
OUTSIDE SCHOLARSHIPS
There are many scholarship opportunities that do not involve Northern New Mexico College directly. To locate outside scholarships, you may want to contact your high school counselor, local civic organizations (i.e., Rotary, Lions,), church groups, places of employment, and the web.

The following points are offered to assist in the accurate delivery of outside scholarship funds:
Checks should be mailed to:
Northern New Mexico College
Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid
Attn: Viviane Medina
921 Paseo de Onate
Espanola, NM 87532
Checks should be made payable to "Northern New Mexico College". If the
scholarship check is made payable to you, or if it is made payable to you and
the school, you must endorse the check before it can be applied to your acount.
IMPORTANT: Your financial aid from all sources cannot exceed the cost of attendance established by the University. If you receive a scholarship, whether it is from the college or from a private source, you should notify the Financial Aid Office. We are required to review your aid package to make sure that you are not receiving more aid than your total cost of attendance. In many cases we are able to include your scholarship or grant without adjusting any of your other aid, increasing the total amount of your aid package. Sometimes we have to reduce or replace another form of aid. In that case, we always attempt to reduce or replace any loans that you might have been offered first. We strongly encourage you to explore all scholarship opportunities as valuable means to help finance your college education.
