The 2025 scholars, including their community, management company, school, grade, and major, are listed according to their AHMA.

“This has been a record-setting year for the NAHMA Educational Foundation Scholarship Program. The most recipients were selected, and the most money was ever distributed in a single year, with 135 NAHMA scholars each receiving $3,500 apiece for a total of $472,500. This is a true tribute to everyone involved in the program’s operation, including the field staff supporting applicants and our generous donors. We are very appreciative of all of their efforts! We are so pleased with the outcome of this year’s campaign. Outstanding academic performance, civic involvement and participation in co-curricular activities seem to be the hallmarks of this group of NAHMA scholars,” NAHMA Educational Foundation Chairperson Anthony Sandoval said.

The NAHMA Educational Foundation is pleased to have created this legacy supporting resident academic achievement for the betterment of communities nationwide.
