Silver City, NM- The Office of Admissions and Recruitment has announced a list of new freshman scholarships that will be available to the incoming freshman class for the fall 2015 semester.
The scholarships each have their own set of requirements for students based on their state of residency and grade point average. Administered by the Office of Admissions, the scholarships are new opportunities for students who may also qualify for FAFSA based or University Foundation based awards.
“We expect to award up to $300,000 in new scholarships to incoming freshmen,” said Matthew Lara, Director of Admissions. “It is exciting to have the opportunity to provide additional financial assistance to our new students.”
The new scholarships include awards for valedictorian and salutatorians in New Mexico, regional science fair winners, national merit scholars and national Hispanic scholarships.
“Additional scholarships will be given to students that demonstrate leadership in their school and communities,” said Lara. “We want to recognize student leaders and let them know that WNMU is the place where they can continue to build upon that demonstrated leadership.”
Application to the new freshman scholarships opens April 1. See complete scholarship list: http://admissions.wnmu.edu/save
