Scholarship

2025 Community Impact Scholarship

At New Mexico Accident Firm, LLC, we understand that personal injury cases can have a widespread effect on the local community and many inhabiting citizens. If you have experienced a serious injury, it can affect your ability to work, your quality of life, and your ability to travel to see those you care about.

It is important to get involved in the community and support the area that you are from with time, resources, or initiatives that help to better the community around you. Working for a better community isn’t a one-man-job, it takes all of us. We want to highlight a student who is actively involved in the community whether it be through community service, local organizations, or personal endeavors. Through your submission, you may be eligible to win $1,000 towards furthering your education. 

The deadline to apply is October 1, 2025.
