Monthly FAFSA Scholarship and Prize drawing(s): 

New Mexico High School Seniors (residents of NM) can register to win a $1,000 FAFSA scholarship. High school seniors who register will be entered into a monthly random drawing. To be eligible to win, student(s) must have completed the FAFSA and show proof of completion. A student can only win once. The first scholarship will be drawn in November of 2026, and subsequent monthly drawings will be held for the 2027-28 FAFSA cycle. The last eligible drawing for this FAFSA cycle will be in July 2027. The monthly NMEAF FAFSA Scholarship and Prize drawings are for fall 2027 enrollment at any Title IV eligible college, university, or trade school.

If You Are Selected.

If you are selected as a scholarship winner, congratulations! An NMEAF employee will reach out to you to have you complete and sign a scholarship acceptance form.

You will also be asked to take a photo with your printable scholarship certificate. Taking the photo is completely optional, and you may decline.

We will then ask for permission to use your photo in our newsletter when we announce the scholarship winners. If you prefer not to have your photo included, we will simply use your name and your school’s logo instead.

From there, all you need to do is prepare for college! NMEAF will work directly with your college or trade school’s financial department to make sure your scholarship funds are received and applied appropriately.
