Scholarship
Program
In 1998, Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and its employees, retirees, and contractors partnered with the LANL Foundation to create the Los Alamos Employees’ Scholarship Fund (LAESF). The Fund’s goal is to provide scholarships that support the students of Northern New Mexico who are pursuing undergraduate degrees in fields that will serve the region. Awards are based on academic performance (academic rigor, GPA, and standardized test scores), leadership potential (extracurricular and community service activities), critical thinking skills, and career goals (relevant to LANL or local community needs). Financial need, diversity, and regional representation are integral components of the selections process.Since 1998, over 450 Northern New Mexico students have been awarded over $1.3 million in scholarships—funds contributed by LANL employees, retirees, and contractors, as well as the business partners of our Northern New Mexico community. Los Alamos National Security, LLC (LANS), in partnership with the University of California (UC), has also awarded 26 UC Nonresident Fee Scholarships to students attending a UC school. Please note that the deadline to apply for 2008 scholarships has passed. The application process for 2009
scholarships will begin in October, 2008. |
