NM Expanding Opportunities Project (EOP) Application Deadline

This is a time-sensitive reminder! The NM Expanding Opportunities Project (EOP) application deadline is this Friday, August 29, 2025!

EOP is in its last year of the five-year grant award period. Applications will close on Friday, August 29, 2025. *Funding is limited and first come, first serve to qualifying applicants. If you believe you may qualify for any additional EOP funding you have not yet applied for, please submit an application by August 29, 2025. If you applied and did not receive a confirmation email, please contact the EOP helpline to confirm we received your application. 

For eligibility guidelines and to apply,  dismiss this message and click on Funding-Requests at the top of the Home page.

Our EOP helpline is available for any questions or assistance Monday through Friday from  8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. We are expecting high volumes. Our goal is to respond to emails and voicemails within two business days.

Special Note Regarding the Academic Support and Practicum Stipends for Eligible Graduate Students:

Eligible classes and/or practicums must show as completed with a passing grade on your transcript. We will not be able to issue funds for classes showing as in progress. We can issue awards for eligible classes and/or practicums up to a year in the past, so if you forgot to apply for academic and/or practicum funding in the last year, be sure to apply!

Special Note Regarding the Salary Enhancement Stipend for Eligible School Based Mental Health Professionals:

*Applicants may apply once per year. Applicants whose annual application date falls between September 2025 to December 2025 may apply in August 2025 to meet the year-five application deadline. However, if salary enhancement funding runs out, applicants whose annual application date falls in August 2025 or before will be prioritized.

Thanks so much for your dedication to the wellness of NM students and schools!

Sincerely,

The EOP Team
