Urban funding to support New Mexico School-Based Mental Health graduate students in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Las Cruces is back! Qualified fields of study include social work, counseling, psychology, and applied behavior analysis. Licensure Reimbursement up to $300 is also available for graduate students who have successfully obtained a license in social work, counseling, psychology, or applied behavior analysis within the past year.

Applications for the Urban EOP Academic Support, Practicum/Internship, and Licensure Reimbursement Stipends will open on March 3, 2025. Funding is limited and first come first served to qualified applicants. Applications will remain open until funding runs out or August 29, 2025 (whichever comes sooner).

EOP participants who have received rural funding and attested to work in a rural school are not eligible for urban funding.
