SANTA FE, N.M. Las Vegas, New Mexico – New Mexico Highlands University received a $510,363 grant that will be used to create a distance learning site in Mora, New Mexico, for the university’s students and the community.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture awarded Highlands the grant, which is a partnership with Collaborative Visions, a nonprofit in Mora. Highlands calls the grant the Education Beyond Campus project.
