MORE SCHOLARSHIP MONEY AVAILABLE IN NEW MEXICO. GOVERNOR MICHELLE LUJAN GRISHAM ON THURSDAY SIGNED INTO A LAW A BILL APPROVED DURING THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION THAT INCREASES THE AMOUNT OF SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS THE STATE HAS BY 500 DOLLARS A SEMESTER. NOW, MORE STUDENTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET THOSE SCHOLARSHIPS.
KOB TV REPORTS 4-THOUSAND SCHOLARSHIPS WILL BE AVAILABLE BECAUSE OF THE INCREASE. A REPORT BY NEW MEXICO VOICES FOR CHILDREN FOUND ONLY 31 PERCENT OF FINANCIAL AID FOR STUDENTS PREVIOUSLY WERE BASED ON FINANCIAL NEED … A LOT LESS THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE OF 76 PERCENT.
