CFSNM

Our hearts are heavy for our communities across Southern New Mexico. We are wrapping our communities in southern Doña Ana County up in love as they have been deeply impacted by devastating floods. Many of our neighbors are now facing unimaginable loss and hardship. The Greatest Needs Impact Fund for Dona Ana County has been activated to provide immediate and long-term support for the people, animals, and places affected by the floods. 100% of the funds raised go directly to support those affected. Together, we can offer hope, strength, and support. ❤ To make a donation, please visit: /erp/donate/create/fund?funit_id=5884

Through this scholarship, they are not only providing financial support but also championing aspiring engineers who will help build and strengthen our communities for years to come. The J29 Enterprises Scholarship Fund will provide annual awards of $500 or more to students pursuing engineering degrees at New Mexico State University, with preference given to those studying civil engineering.

More than financial support, this scholarship reflects a shared belief that investing in students today helps build stronger, more resilient communities tomorrow. Your CFSNM is honored to partner with J29 Enterprises in supporting aspiring engineers as they take the next steps toward impactful careers in Southern New Mexico. #Scholarship #Engineering #StudenSuccess #Impact #YourCFSNM
