For the upcoming fall semester, freshmen students could get their tuition paid for, but there are a few requirements. It’s called the “Lobo First-Year Promise.” It’s taking a page out of Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham’s dream of free college but this will only apply to some students.
“This year, we can round out our world-class cradle-to-career educational philosophy with a comprehensive embrace of universal higher education: The Opportunity Scholarship,” said Gov. Lujan Grisham during the State of the State in January.
It was a huge promise, the Opportunity Scholarship was supposed to pay tuition and fees for all students at public universities in the state but at the end of the 2020 legislative session, that grand dream was watered down. It will now pay for the remaining tuition and fee balance for lottery-scholarship students at two-year programs and UNM took notice.
University of New Mexico will cover tuition and fees for eligible freshman
It's a start.
