新墨西哥州24所高校11月免申请费 在校生达11.5万
2026年11月1日，新墨西哥州“11月免申请费”活动正式启动，整个11月内，州内居民申请州内24所高校均无需缴纳申请费。州高等教育部门表示，这项年度活动与该州学费减免政策相配合，符合条件的学生在州内公立高校就读可享受免学费待遇。参与高校中，迪内学院、新墨西哥州立大学和新墨西哥理工学院在11月当月免收申请费，另有包括中部新墨西哥社区学院、圣胡安学院和东新墨西哥大学在内的21所高校全年均不收取申请费，合计24所。
州高等教育部门的初步数据显示，2026年秋季，州内公立高校在校生达到115231人，连续第五年增长。该活动由州高等教育部门、州公共教育部门和州教育援助基金会共同支持，旨在降低申请门槛，让更多家庭了解并用好现有的奖学金与学费资助项目。州高等教育厅长表示，免申请费与奖学金政策叠加，有助于把入学机会送到更多新墨西哥家庭手中。
24 New Mexico Colleges Waive Application Fees for November; Enrollment Hits 115,231
On November 1, New Mexico's "Free Application Month" officially began: throughout November, state residents can apply to 24 in-state colleges and universities without paying an application fee. The state Higher Education Department said the annual campaign works alongside the state's tuition relief policies, under which eligible students can attend public institutions tuition-free.
Among the participating schools, Diné College, New Mexico State University and New Mexico Tech are waiving application fees during November, while 21 others — including Central New Mexico Community College, San Juan College and Eastern New Mexico University — charge no application fee year-round, for a total of 24. Preliminary figures from the department show that enrollment at the state's public institutions reached 115,231 students in fall 2026, a fifth consecutive year of growth.
The campaign is supported jointly by the state Higher Education Department, the Public Education Department and the New Mexico Education Assistance Foundation, and aims to lower the application threshold so more families learn about and use existing scholarship and tuition assistance programs. The secretary of higher education said that combining fee waivers with scholarship policies helps put college access within reach of more New Mexico families.
