The Provost Committee for Staff (PCS) is accepting nominations for the fall 2025 Academic Support Scholarships through the end of August.

Nominations can be made through this link.

The Academic Support Scholarship was created to help support staff in their academic goals. The scholarship can be used to help cover the costs of academic books and supplies as well as course fees.

The scholarships are open to UNM employees who are pursuing a degree or professional certificate, or for professional development classes.

 This scholarship will be awarded each semester, with recipients selected by members of the PCS. To increase the number of staff receiving this assistance, this scholarship will not be made to the same recipient in successive semesters.

 Recipients of the award must:

• Be in non-probationary employment status
• Provide descriptions of their academic path and how this scholarship opportunity will benefit them
• Be at least a .50 FTE UNM employee
• Be enrolled in courses to be used in a degree- or certificate-granting program or for professional development
• Have a performance evaluation ranked as “Successful.”

Preference will be given to those who have not been awarded the scholarship in prior semesters.
