Newport News Nuclear BWXT‑Los Alamos LLC (N3B) made a meaningful impact on UNM-LA with a $10,000 contribution during the final days of the federal Title V Grant matching campaign, which closed Sept. 30. The campaign matched donations dollar‑for‑dollar up to $250,000, strengthening UNM‑LA’s endowment and expanding long‑term support for students. 

“Without partners like N3B, UNM‑LA wouldn’t be the college it is today,” said Chancellor Mike Holtzclaw. 

In addition to supporting the campus’s future, N3B also invested directly in students by awarding UNM‑LA student Jimmy Gurule the Danny Nichols and Dennis Huddleston Memorial Scholarship. The $9,000 scholarship benefits degree‑seeking students at UNM‑LA and Northern New Mexico College. 

Together, contributions like N3B’s ensure UNM‑LA can continue opening doors for students and strengthening the community for years to come.
