Officials from the Mexican Consulate in El Paso recently visited Western New Mexico University to celebrate a new agreement aimed at supporting students of Mexican and Mexican American descent. The IME Becas Scholarships, established through this agreement, are jointly funded by the WNMU Foundation and the Mexican government. While the WNMU Foundation’s contribution comes from its donors, the Mexican government’s share is provided by the Institute for Mexicans Abroad, a division of Mexico’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This collaboration not only furthers broader educational goals but also directly aids Mexican and Mexican American students in achieving their academic aspirations and educational opportunities.
