Scholarships and Fellowships

The Fall scholarship application is open in March with awards offered in June. The Spring scholarship application opens in October with awards offered in December.

Important Information

Anderson students must apply through the scholarship application link above to eligible for scholarships:

1. Merit-based scholarships: all Anderson students who submit an application are eligible; these scholarships represent approximately 50% of all Anderson scholarships.
2. Financial need/merit-based scholarships: these scholarships represent approximately 50% of Anderson’s scholarships/fellowships and are awarded based on application submissions and the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) information Anderson receives from the UNM Financial Aid Office.
   
   Complete the FAFSA as soon as possible.

To be eligible for an award, you must be a current Anderson student, or have applied to an Anderson program by April 1, 2023, or must be identified as a pre-business major.

All scholarship/fellowship awards are for one academic year and the awarded amount is paid over two semesters. If a student is graduating in the fall, the student will only receive half of the award. Awarded scholarships are one-time only. They are not recurring scholarships.

Scholarship Opportunities for Studying Abroad

Students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels are eligible for scholarships of up to $2,500 for studying abroad during the academic year, which may supplement to other sources such as UNM Regents scholarships for studying abroad. Students may also participate in internships during their studies.
