UNM is developing a new scholarship program to attract the nation’s top American Indian students. The proposed National American Indian Scholars Program, scheduled to launch in fall 2009, is the first national scholarship or recognition program of its kind focused on American Indian students.

UNM is working in partnership with the American College Testing program, or ACT. The program would be open to students whose ACT score is within the 95th percentile for their region, and would admit approximately five to 10 students each year.

Special Assistant to the President for American Indian Affairs Pamela Agoyo first suggested the program five years ago, and she worked with Associate Vice President Terry Babbitt to begin planning over the past two years. Provost Suzanne Ortega and Vice President for Enrollment Management Carmen Alvarez Brown made this venture a reality soon after joining UNM.

The University of Texas at Brownsville and Texas Southmost College has established a scholarship to honor the memory of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.

Bhutto visited the college in 2004 when she spoke as part of its annual Distinguished Lecture Series. She was assassinated one year ago, shortly before Pakistan’s election for prime minister.

“When she came to UTB, she touched us all,” said Fitratullah Khan, who teaches computer science at UTB-TSC and helped to organize the endowment for the new scholarship.

Like Bhutto, Khan was born in Pakistan and came to the United States after finishing high school to earn a college degree.

Bhutto’s message about the link between education and democracy rung true to Khan, who was astounded by the freedoms he was afforded when he came to the United States.
