Where community empowers public education

Apply for a Scholarship

Scholarship applications for the 2023-24 school year will  be due on February 23, 2024.  We encourage students to apply online.  You may also mail or deliver your application if preferred.  Note our office location at 1010 Central Avenue in Los Alamos.  We are located in the new Los Alamos Schools Credit Union building.  (Please note:  Applications for the June and Harry Ettinger Memorial Scholarship are submitted by mail to the Friends of the Los Alamos County Library committee.  The Ettinger applications are due on March 9, 2024.)

Unofficial transcripts will be sent to LAPS Foundation through the LAHS College and Career Center.

Letters of recommendation can be emailed directly from the recommender to j.mccumber@laschools.net.  If the recommender gives the letter to the student, it can simply be included with your application.  Or, if the recommender prefers to send it by regular mail, they should mail it to:

LAPS Foundation
1010 Central Avenue
Los Alamos, NM 87544
