Scholarship is one of nine philanthropic programs of Assistance League® of Albuquerque (ALA). The program awards scholarships to students at Central New Mexico Community College (CNM) in the Trades Division (Applied Technologies Department) and in Early Childhood Education.
All trades division students and Early Childhood Education students are encouraged to apply for a scholarship to complete their final three terms. Each student who has completed two of the five terms for graduation with a 3.5 grade average or better is eligible.
Recipients are selected by CNM faculty in each department. The scholarship money may be used for living expenses, child care, or to meet the daily needs of the recipient.
These scholarships are provided annually, and the ALA Scholarship Committee follows up on the success of the scholarship recipients.
