The Daniels Scholarship Program serves promising students with financial need who demonstrate academic performance and promise, strength of character, a well rounded personality and a commitment to give back to the community. Scholarship amounts are based on students’ financial need after family contribution is taken into account.
In New Mexico, 42 students were chosen this year to receive the scholarship. About half are associated with UNM-related programs, including College Prep/College Readiness, Service Learning programs and UNM/CNM ENLACE.
