Scholarship spotlight
“The more I applied myself and the more I got involved, the quicker I found what I wanted to do.”
Colin received two endowed scholarships established by NMSU alumni and interned at the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) in Atlanta, Georgia. “I want to help people feel confident that they’re managing their money wisely, whether they’re with a big bank or a small one. That’s something everyone can benefit from.”
