Supporting Students Like You in Northern New Mexico
Since 1999, the LANL Foundation, in partnership with the Los Alamos Employees’ Scholarship Fund Advisory Committee, has invested in the futures of Northern New Mexico students. Made possible by generous donors from Los Alamos National Laboratory and across our region, the LANL Scholars program is more than a scholarship—it’s a community of support. Scholars gain access to internship opportunities, career mentorship, and a network designed to help you achieve your educational and professional goals. We don’t just look for achievement; we value your unique story—your dreams, your community, and what makes you, you.
Whether you’re pursuing a four-year degree, an associate degree, a certificate, or a professional trade credential, there’s an opportunity for you. Explore our programs and apply below.
Four-Year Undergraduate Scholarships
Four-year Undergraduate Scholarships are designated for high school seniors and current undergraduate students pursuing a bachelor’s degree in any field of study. The process is competitive and open to students who are residents of the Foundation’s seven-county service area in Northern New Mexico.
Career Pathways Scholarships
Career Pathways Scholarships are for individuals who have a specific career in mind and are committed to earning an associate’s degree or certification in any field or trade. These scholarships are available to high school students and adult learners with a high school diploma or GED/High School Equivalency (HSE).
About Our Scholarship Funds
Scholarships have the power to transform lives and communities. Every donation makes a difference in the life of a student and their family. For all students, earning a scholarship is an acknowledgement of their commitment to education and a validation that their hard work has not gone unnoticed. For many students from Northern New Mexico, a scholarship is the only way to realize their dream of earning a college degree and creating a life of their choosing.
Scholarship Partners
