The ASUNM Senate established the Jenny Marie Ames Scholarship in memory of our former colleague, teacher, and friend to recognize students like Jenny who demonstrate outstanding character, vision, and leadership qualities.

Jenny served as Associate Justice for the ASUNM Court from August of 1996 until her untimely death on November 7^th of the same year.  During her time at UNM, she touched the lives of many students and staff.  While serving on the Student Court, she acted vigilantly to maintain the standards of our Constitution.  She was both fair and impartial in her judgments and was working to revise the Judicial Code to make it more equitable and current. 

ASUNM would like to keep Jenny’s memory alive by awarding these prizes in her name to those students who reflect the intelligence, community service, and determination that personified Jenny Marie Ames. ASUNM is awarding five (5) $1000 scholarships to deserving University of New Mexico Undergraduates that are selected by the ASUNM Scholarship Committee and meet the required criteria.

ASUNM Emergency Scholarship

The ASUNM Emergency Scholarship was established to help provide financial relief for students who are experiencing financial difficulties due to this unprecedented time of COVID-19. We recognize that there are many uncertainties regarding employment and other financial obligations that students may have, and as your student government, we wanted to give back to our students and provide scholarships up to $500. ASUNM is awarding ten (10) $250 scholarships for undergraduate students who are selected by the ASUNM Scholarship Committee and meet the required criteria.
