ACF scholarships

This is a group of awards reached through one application. Each award inside it has its own rules.

Award

Many donor scholarships; amounts vary.

Deadline

Deadlines vary by fund. The page lists the 2026-27 school year application; confirm 2027-28 dates.

How to apply

Complete the eligibility questionnaire in the student portal, then the matched application and required uploads. Prepare a recent transcript and applicable FAFSA financial summary, essays or online recommendations. The portal matches funds automatically rather than letting students select them individually; some institutional awards use another portal.

Who can apply

Primarily New Mexico residents pursuing eligible nonprofit accredited U.S. undergraduate or graduate study. Most funds consider financial need, full-time enrollment and GPA, but exceptions and specific school, field or other restrictions vary.

Good to know

The overview still advertises 2026-27 applications. The deadline page lists January 30, April 2 and June 4, 2026 at 5 p.m. in the sponsor’s stated MST zone, plus a separate CNM route. Renewal is not automatic: generally reapply annually, with some committed awards requiring a follow-up form. Scholarships provide partial support and are paid to the school after acceptance.
