New Mexico’s Higher Education Department says residents can apply without a fee at 24 colleges and universities during November. Three institutions are temporarily waiving application charges, while 21 already charge no application fee year-round. Admission requirements and individual scholarship deadlines still apply.
The temporary waivers cover Diné College, New Mexico State University and New Mexico Tech. The department’s list also includes community colleges, branch campuses and other institutions across the state. Prospective students should use the official list to check each school’s application process and financial-aid options.
