College-bound students must fill out the Federal Student Aid Form every year they plan on attending college. To learn more about the FAFSA and how to fill it out, please visit the website.
Eligible students for the Pell Grant must demonstrate great financial need. The grant does not have to be repaid, unlike a loan. Schools will consider the Pell Grant award when reviewing student FAFSA forms.
Even though tuition in New Mexico is free, scholarships are a great way to earn money to help pay for food, gas, housing, and books. Look for scholarships that are renewable every year. Please see the Scholarships tab for a list of scholarships available for current seniors.
When filling out the FAFSA, indicate that you are interested in work study. Considering financial aid, work study may be awarded. Schools will provide a pay schedule and inform students of possible job opportunities.
