The NCERW New Voices Incentive Scholarship supports the journey of emerging indigenous scholars engaged in the work of environmental literacy education. The NCERW New Voices Incentive Scholarship seeks to promote the health and wellbeing of tribal communities by recognizing the potential of promising new writers and engaging the generative ecological dimensions of writing across academic and public cultures.

NCERW New Voices Incentive Scholarship Awards of $500.00 provide funding support in the form of a Lobo Gift Card to nominated students for discretionary purposes toward educational use (i.e. school supplies such as books, backpack, notebooks, and personal computer) and/or personal use (i.e. housing, medical, dental, eye care, meals, shoes, and clothing).

Nominations and awards of the NCERW New Voices Incentive Scholarship are offered in coordination with the University of New Mexico American Indian Student Services.

For Additional Funding Support for unmet needs, NCERW New Voices Incentive Scholarship nominees and recipients are invited to contact the Offices of UNM America Indian Student Services.

For further information, see the Office of American Indian Student Services website and the National Consortium of Environmental Rhetoric & Writing home page.

The Ulysses Segovia Scholarship in in Environmental Sciences, Public Health, and Ecological Literacies was established in honor of Ulysses Segovia, and announced at his funeral on June 4, 2016.

This is a digital archive and community space dedicated to the people, programs, and projects related to environmental literacy happening all across the University of New Mexico. Our mission is to bring all of the important work that people are already doing in one accessible, curated space.

In doing so, we hope to accomplish the following goals:

1. To democratize the conversation about ecoliteracy by welcoming a broad range of voices
2. To empower students, staff, faculty, and community members to engage with and make a difference through increased awareness of environmental challenges
3. To create a bank of curricular resources related to ecoliteracy for use in the classroom and community
4. To foster cross-disciplinary and cross-community connections
5. To celebrate the important and exciting work related to ecoliteracy happening at UNM and beyond

This digital space is the central hub for the ecoliteracy initiatives happening all across the University of New Mexico. Together, we can bring greater collaboration and curiosity to environmental conversations at UNM, in the Southwest, and beyond.
