Established in 1992, the New Mexico Credit Union Education Foundation was formed following special legislation that allows credit unions to use abandoned funds for educational and charitable purposes. The credit union-led foundation has awarded $1,940,600 worth of scholarships to 2,297 students attending NM-based and accredited colleges, universities, and vocational or technical schools. NMCUEF scholarship recipients must be New Mexico residents who demonstrate a continued commitment to academic success by submitting a personal essay and meeting several requirements, including grade point average and fulltime enrollment.
The Credit Union Association of New Mexico is a trade organization that helps advance New Mexico’s credit union success through advocacy, education, and collaboration. CUANM has been helping credit unions help their members since 1958.
