NMASBO 2016 High School Scholarships

The NMASBO Board and Scholarship Committee awards a minimum of six $1,500 high school scholarships, one from each region, to the best qualified applicant from the respective region who attends a college or university within the state of New Mexico.

The scholarship guidelines and application can be found at nmasbo.org under the Recognition > High School Scholarships. This will give high school seniors around the state of New Mexico the opportunity to start applying in January 2016 and sending their information to our office to process before Friday, March 4, 2016.

The 2016 NMASBO Scholarship will also include the 6th Annual Joni Heinsohn Memorial Scholarship for $2,500. This applicant must meet the same criteria in the guidelines and application for all other NMASBO high school scholarships. The applicant who demonstrates to the committee the most need and purpose for the Memorial Scholarship will be selected.

The NMASBO Board established an Annual Memorial Scholarship in Joni Heinsohn's name in 2010 and the Inaugural Scholarship was awarded in 2011. Our success as an association would have never been achieved without her contributions and hard work. The annual recipient of this scholarship shall be a reflection of Joni's overall commitment to her constant achievement of excellence in everything she did.
