NMMI Announces Signing of Bill 68: Governor Martinez makes it possible for more to afford a 1st Class Education

NMMI has announced the signing of New Mexico House Bill 68 by Governor Susana Martinez.  The Luciano “Lucky” Varela opportunity scholarship is intended to increase the number of New Mexico high school students attending the New Mexico Military Institute who meet need-based requirements and who might not otherwise have the opportunity to participate in a military education and environment.
Major General Grizzle, President and Superintendent said, “The significance of this scholarship is the Opportunity scholarship is not a fixed value and it is in addition to other scholarship opportunities the student may be eligible for.  We see qualified students who are otherwise accepted to attend NMMI leave from our doorsteps purely on the fact they cannot afford to attend.  This scholarship, graciously supported by the New Mexico Legislature, HED Secretary and the Governor will help NMMI to allow those students of financial need to overcome their financial hurdle.”
