About NASP

The Native American Scholarship Program (NASP) provides financial assistance to support post-secondary education for Native American students. New Mexico Gas Company’s scholarship supports Native American students in New Mexico who demonstrate a desire to engage in their future through continuing education.

The program assists students in pursuit of an associate, bachelor’s, or master’s degree, certification from a trade school or specialized technical training associated with a license or certificate. The allowance for trade school and technical training assistance sets this program apart from more traditional scholarship programs. We recognize that in today’s workforce, there is a need for trade school and technically trained personnel as well as those with conventional degrees.

Twenty initial or renewal scholarships of $3,000 each are awarded annually. Applications for the 2026 - 2027 academic year are closed. Presentation of the awards will be made by the NASP committee at a date to be determined. The application period for the 2027 - 2028 academic year will be announced in early 2027.
