Some sources of financial aid are the UNM Financial Aid Office, the UNM Scholarship Office , professional associations, employers, and scholarships offered by the department.

Our department has more funds for scholarships than any of the other engineering departments at UNM.  Scholarships are available for each of our three majors:  civil engineering, construction engineering, and construction management.  The eligibility requirements vary among the scholarships.  Some have very specific requirements; some are more general; some require that you have financial need which is determined by the FAFSA (Free Application for Student Aid) which is filed through the UNM Financial Aid Office. 

Though the amount of each scholarship award may vary every year,  the department offers approximately $50,000 in scholarships to undergraduate students. This is in addition to other scholarships available from the School of Engineering and UNM. All scholarships may not be given every year.  You can check the department list for the most updated information as to the status of a scholarship. Scholarships will be announced through emails to all students in the department, postings in Centennial, and information on the departmental web site.

To apply for a scholarship, you must complete the departmental scholarship application and submit an unofficial transcript.  For scholarships based on financial need, a current FAFSA must be on file with the Financial Aid Office.  Some scholarships may require other documentation.  You must submit a separate application for each scholarship for which you are applying. 

The application deadline is approximately June 1 of each year.  The selection process will be done in June or July.  Notification will be in July.
