Financial Aid

The philosophy of the New Mexico State University Financial Aid Office is that no student should be denied a college education due to lack of financial resources. Our goal is to provide understandable information, timely service, and monetary assistance to you while maintaining stewardship of the public funds.

If you do not CONFIRM YOUR ENROLLMENT, not only will your financial aid not pay to your student account, you will also get DISENROLLED
