This scholarship pays a portion of tuition, as determined by the Higher Education Department (HED), and is available to students who have recently graduated from a New Mexico public high school, accredited New Mexico private high school, or have obtained a New Mexico High School Equivalency (HiSET), and enroll immediately after graduation into a New Mexico public college full-time (12 credit hours at 2-year schools and 15 credit hours at 4-year schools) and completes the semester with a 2.5 GPA. After the qualifying semester, the student is eligible to continue to receive the scholarship for three consecutive semesters as long as the continued eligibility is maintained.

Beginning Fall 2024, the New Mexico Higher Education Department (HED) released new regulations allowing continuing New Mexico Legislative Lottery Success recipients the option to enroll less than full-time and retain their scholarship.

Please see the new regulations below:

Students must, “successfully complete twenty-four credit hours within the academic year if attending a two-year public post-secondary educational institution. The credit hours may be apportioned among fall, spring and summer semesters, with no fewer than nine credit hours in the fall and spring semesters and between three and nine credit hours for summer semesters”. (NMAC 5.7.20.9)

For Example:

NOTE: HiSET recipients must enroll in the next semester after their last test date. All students are encouraged to check their eligibility with the Financial Aid Office. Please note that students receiving the Lottery Scholarship cannot receive any other tuition-based aid (i.e. Merit Scholarship, Tuition Waivers, etc.) Students submitting a Lottery Transfer Transcript Request to transfer their Lottery Scholarship need to submit it to the Financial Aid Office on or before December 1st for the Fall term, May 1st for the Spring term, and July 25th for Summer.
