The New Mexico Institute for Learning and Evaluation (NMILE) is an organization within the School of Education. The institute is primarily funded by the WNMU Foundation's Olive Marlowe Smithson Estate which also provides scholarships for qualified education students.

   The institute has two major purposes. First, it serves as a liaison to the WNMU Foundation for the distribution of SOE scholarships: The Olive Marlow Smithson, Sechler/Rhoades, and Montoya Scholarship Funds. Information on these scholarships is available on this website.

   The second function of the institute is to provide leadership and support for learning opportunities that enhance the mission of the university and SOE.

• The NMILE also reviews RFP's and distributes them to interested university and community organizations.
• The NMILE director oversees SOE faculty distribution and scholarships

   The NMILE encourages schools and government agencies to contact it in order to facilitate grant writing or other research and policy studies. Please contact Dr. PMG for more information.
