At New Mexico Military Institute (NMMI), we understand the sacrifices military families make in service to our nation. That’s why we’re proud to offer a special in-state tuition rate for qualified military families—no matter where you’re stationed. The breakdown of costs for attending NMMI can be found on our Costs Sheets.
Whether your student joins us in our military boarding high school or junior college, they’ll be part of a long-standing tradition of leadership, discipline, and academic excellence—preparing them to lead in uniform or in civilian life.
All junior college level students should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Families are often surprised to learn the student may qualify for more preferable aid programs by completing the FAFSA.

Cadets can then serve in the National Guard or Reserve while completing their bachelor’s degree.
