International Amigo Scholarship

International Amigo Scholarship

The International Amigo Scholarship entitles qualifying international students to a non-resident tuition waiver (value of more than $10,000 per year) and a cash award of $200 per year- provided a student meets renewal requirements. This means the student will pay only in-state tuition and other expenses.  The Amigo Scholarship is a tuition-specific award and does not convert to a cash award if the recipient’s tuition is covered by other means, such as an assistantship or scholarship.

Eligibility

Graduates must have:

• The equivalent of a U.S. 3.0 college grade point average (GPA) as determined by UNM.
• Admission to a full-time UNM graduate degree program by the deadline.
• Recommendation by the graduate department to receive the scholarship. (Contact your department to ask if they will nominate you.)
• NO UNM assistantships.
• Non-immigrant visa status (F1 or J1)
• NO previous attendance in the current UNM program
