NMJC Institutional Financial Aid Programs

Institutional Work Study

Institutional Work-Study funds are available for students who wish to work to defray the cost of education at NMJC. These awards are not based on need; however, if a student is receiving need-based aid, the award must be considered as a resource.

Students must:

Be eligible to work in the United States
Be enrolled full-time at NMJC
Complete an institutional work-study application and submit to the Financial Aid Office

Things to remember:

Students are interviewed and hired by departmental representatives.
The student will earn the current Federal Minimum Wage rate per hour and normally will not work in excess of twenty hours per week.
Students are paid twice a month and payroll checks are distributed through the Business Office during regular business hours.
Should a student receive aid subsequent to their employment at NMJC, they may be terminated at any time to avoid an over award situation. A student may also be terminated for non-attendance or non-performance of job duties.

Scholarships

The NMJC Honors Scholarship is awarded to incoming freshmen who have attained a top ranking in their graduating class and will be enrolled full-time at NMJC. The scholarship covers tuition and required fees and each student must maintain required GPA indicated in their award letter for continued eligibility. This is also a state funded program.

Foundation Programs

NMJC Foundation Programs provide scholarship and work-study opportunities for students through funds that have been endowed by private donors. The majority of these scholarships carry very specific awarding criteria. The Edith Search work-study program is awarded to students who are graduates of an NMJC district high school. Funds in these programs are limited. For further information, please contact the Financial Aid Office or download the scholarship listing in PDF format.
