Dear Scholarship Sponsor,

This information is provided in an effort to increase the awareness of The University of New Mexico’s policies and procedures concerning private and outside organizational funding.

Please note the following information pertinent to the processing of scholarship checks at UNM:

Mailing Address:
Scholarship Office
Attn: Sandra E. Barnard-Sanchez
MSC 06-3670
Mesa Vista Hall Room 3019
1 University of New Mexico
Albuquerque, NM  87131-0001

Please make checks payable to The University of New Mexico, as this will expedite the processing of funds directly to the student’s account. Federal regulations require that checks be processed in a timely manner. If your organization requires scholarship checks be made payable to the student only or co-payable to the student and UNM, the following procedures become effective and may cause delays in processing; the student will be required to endorse the scholarship check at the UNM Cashier’s Office once the semester has begun before any funds can be directly credited to the student’s account. This may result in the student owing late fees or the check may become stale dated and be returned to the sponsor. Additionally, any check that is made payable to the student only or co-payable cannot be divided in half for fall and spring. The entire amount will be applied to the current semester.

Be sure to include: student’s name, UNM/Banner ID or social security number, and any eligibility restrictions for the funds. Please provide scholarship sponsor’s address, phone number, tax payer ID number, and e-mail address in the event that any questions arise concerning the scholarship disbursement.

Questions concerning enrollment verifications should be directed to:

Office of the Registrar
Records & Registration
MSC 06-3650

Albuquerque, New Mexico 87131-0001

Please note that official enrollment verifications are processed only by the Registrar’s Office.  For additional information, please call 505.277.2916.

For third party billing, please contact the Bursar’s Office at 505.277.5363.  It is the student’s responsibility to make sure their outstanding balance is paid by the appropriate enrollment cancellation deadlines.
