Graduate Resources
Graduate Scholarships
The School of Engineering (SOE) has scholarships available each year for SOE graduate students. These scholarships could help supplement graduate-level fellowships or assistantships (e.g. Research/Teaching/Project Assistantships), however, please note that these scholarships are not intended to pay for graduate school.
Although there are some merit-based scholarships available, the majority of scholarships are need-based and we highly recommend that all students submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). You can submit a FAFSA online at: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov. UNM's federal aid school code is 002663.

Graduate Student Success Scholarship
The Graduate Student Success Scholarships are need-based scholarships that provide financial support to domestic and permanent-resident graduate students who are currently enrolled in a terminal masters or doctoral program. (Note: International, non-degree and students in the following professional programs are not eligible for this award: M.D., J.D., Pharm D., D.P.T, and D.N.P.)Postmark Deadline: October 31
Graduate students are encouraged to contact directly the UNM Office of Graduate Studies or the respective academic departments to inquire about available graduate assistantships. Most research assistantships (RA), teaching assistantships (TA), or project assistantships (PA) help graduate students cover the cost of tuition and fees, and in many cases, may provide additional monthly stipends to help cover the cost of room and board and other general expenses.
