New Mexico's Legislative Lottery Scholarship covers 100% of tuition for up to seven semesters at a four-year New Mexico public university, or three semesters at a community college, for state residents who enroll full-time within 16 months of high school graduation. There is no separate application; it is awarded automatically once a student enrolls, but a 2.5 GPA is required to keep it after an initial qualifying semester.
