Scholarships and Financial Aide

Although NMTech tuition and expenses are among the lowest in the nation, it still costs money to attend school here.  Fortunately there is plenty of help.

In addition to scholarships and other aid, NMTech offers a wide range of employment opportunities.  From being a lifeguard at the pool, to lab work for professors, if you are looking for a part time job and some extra cash, there is a job on campus for you.  It seems that only the Library posts requests for students to work, probably because it needs the most students.  But if you're looking for a job, just start asking around in places you would like to work at or check with your advisor and it won't take long to find one.

NMTech offers a large number of need and non-need based scholarships.  Most of these scholarships are awarded when you first start at NMTech and cannot be applied for afterwards.  The following web sight lists all the financial aid offered by NMTech. http://www.nmt.edu/mainpage/finaid/homepage.html  Be sure you are familiar with and receive all the scholarships you qualify for when you first come to NMTech.
