To determine whether an English Language Proficiency Examination is required, please see: Grad School International Student Information. More information about funding for international students can be found through the NMSU International Students and Scholar Services at: https://isss.nmsu.edu/.
Upon acceptance into the Master of Social Work Program, students are also eligible for smaller awards, so we encourage all applicants to complete a Scholar Dollar$ application once they are accepted. This application can be found here: https://scholarships.nmsu.edu/index.php.
Finally, international students are encouraged to apply for graduate assistantships for up to 20 hours of work per week. More information on graduate assistantships can be found here: Guidelines on Graduate Assistants Employment
