About the Scholarship

MPI New Mexico (MPI-NM) is awarding up to three (3) membership scholarships to past, present and future members. Membership is for one year (12 months) at the Preferred tier and is to the individual, not the organization for whom a person works. Awardees agree to engage with MPI-NM and volunteer at the chapter level.  A list of committees and level of commitment can be found here. CURRENT MEMBERS WHO ARE CLOSE TO THEIR RENEWAL DATE ARE ENCOURAGED TO APPLY.
