When classes start next week, The University of New Mexico welcomes a large number of new freshmen students and one of the best prepared groups to begin college in recent years.

The University of New Mexico notified students and parents recently of the final New Mexico Lottery Scholarship amounts available for 2015-16.

As New Mexico’s population of high school students declines, the University of New Mexico is looking at new and innovative ways to maintain a robust enrollment. One idea UNM is looking at to enhance enrollment in diverse geographic area is to provide more scholarship opportunities in an effort to recruit students from other states as well as an international emphasis targeting several locations around the world.
