“Other”
includes New Mexico students who graduated from a Texas or Arizona
high school under a reciprocal agreement with the State Department
of Education and Arizona residents on the Navajo Reservation who
qualify for Legislative Lottery Scholarships
**“No
Response” accounts for the students that did not provide county
information on their admissions form; this information is
requested, but not required
-This report was
prepared using the institution-supplied student and student
financial aid files
-Student count is cumulative and includes all students that were
awarded a Legislative Lottery Scholarship at any time
-These figures will always differ slightly in different categories
because of official reconciliation and adjustments between NMHED
and the various institutions
-Some students may be counted more than once because of transfers
or other factors, according to NMHED
-Graduates so far: non-graduates may still be enrolled, may no
longer be on LSS, or may have left the institution
-Graduates and degrees may include duplicates if a student
attained more than one degree — i.e., a student received an
Associates degree and continued for a Bachelors degree; degrees
include bachelors, associate, certificate and professional;
several graduate students are also included, because their Lottery
scholarships applied to undergraduate tuition that was part of
their simultaneous graduate programs
-Rio Rancho High School’s first graduating class was in FY ’99;
some student data may be split between Bernalillo and Sandoval
Counties
-$66,553,850 in Lottery revenues were previously allocated to the
Public
-School Capital Outlay Fund for State awarded school construction
and repair grants. Following action by the New Mexico Legislature,
the Lottery’s contribution to this fund ended in FY ’01 and the
last grants made with Lottery revenues occurred in FY ’02 |
