Scholarships

What You Should Know

Scholarships are designed to reward, encourage and assist students in their pursuit of academic excellence and leadership roles.

Scholarships are not the only way to pay for college. Check with the Financial Aid office for more information on student loans, grants and other options.

Scholarships are awarded for the academic year. This means that the total amount is divided between the fall and spring semesters. If a student graduates in December, only the fall portion will be awarded.

Many scholarships are renewable. To be eligible to receive a scholarship again, you must reapply each year.

**All scholarship recipients who receive an ENMU-Ruidoso Foundation scholarship MUST adhere to the following:**

  • Send a letter to thank the donors of the scholarship
  • Attend the annual awards assembly
  • Volunteer in at least one Foundation fund-raising event

Failure to comply will result in the loss of the scholarship.

The ENMU-Ruidoso Foundation has worked hard to create opportunities for individuals to achieve their educational goals. We have several scholarship options available as a result of generous individuals who are willing to invest in the success of students on the Ruidoso campus. Each scholarship has differing eligibility requirements. Additional information about each option can be requested via email at rochelle.lentschke@enmu.edu.
