Scholarships for In-State Freshmen

2025-26 Scholarships

Scholarships are awarded by Enrollment Services, the ENMU Foundation and various academic departments to incoming first-time freshmen.

Enrollment Services offers institutional scholarships that can total thousands over four years of attendance for in-state first-time freshmen. We also encourage you to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which may be submitted as early as December of the current year for the upcoming school year.

The following is used to determine scholarship eligibility:

  • Be a U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident
  • High School Grade Point Average comes from the unweighted cumulative GPA
  • ACT Composite comes from the following sections: English | Reading | Science | Mathematics (not superscored)
  • SAT Total comes from the following sections: Evidence-Based Reading/Writing | Mathematics (not superscored)

For priority consideration, apply for admission by Aug. 1 for fall and Jan. 3 for spring. Applications are considered through the first week the beginning of the semester. You should apply for admission first, your admission file will not be reviewed for the scholarships below until you are admitted to ENMU.

Scholarships are distributed during the fall and spring semesters. The Office of Financial Aid administers these funds after they have been awarded. Receipt of scholarships may affect your eligibility for other financial aid.
