Students from Espanola receive UNM Regents' Scholarships
Paul Ortega from Chimayo and David Mazanares from Espanola are among 16 students
to receive the University of New Mexico Regents’ Scholarship, the most
prestigious of all scholarships awarded at UNM.
The Regents’ Scholars Program was established in the 1989 and the first
class was selected in 1991. The program is designed to attract the brightest
and most talented students from the state and nation to the University of New
Mexico. The Regents’ Scholarship is a full-ride academic scholarship, which
includes tuition, books and fees, room and board, and is renewable for eight
semesters provided the student meets specific renewal requirements. The scholarship
itself is worth more than $8,000 per year.
Regents’ Scholars are typically involved in innovative and exciting programs
and opportunities. Individualized mentorship by UNM’s outstanding faculty
is provided, and the students are also admitted to the UNM General Honors Program
where they receive specialized advisement and course registration privileges.
Other recipients include: Joseph Farfel, Alamogordo; Joshua Alexander, Anna
Angeli, John Espinoza, Addie FryeWeaver, Lisa Montoya, Andrew Post, Emiliano
Valles, Albuquerque; Jade Delfin, Cedar Crest; Miranda Palmer, Edgewood; Tricia
