The 2026 UNM Law Scholarship Golf Classic, presented by Nusenda Credit Union, continues a long-standing tradition of bringing together alumni, students and community partners in support of The University of New Mexico School of Law. This year's tournament is set for Friday, June 5, at the UNM Championship Golf Course.
The tournament has evolved into one of the school's most anticipated annual events, selling out in recent years as participation and community investment have continued to rise.
The Classic is more than just a day on the course; it's about showing up for students and helping make their legal education possible. All funds raised from the tournament directly support the UNM School of Law Alumni/ae Association student scholarships, helping provide over $75,000 in scholarships each year.
These awards have a meaningful, lasting impact on students. As scholarship recipient Jane Tabet-Kirkpatrick (Class of 2027) shared, "When I found out that I had been awarded this full scholarship opportunity, it fully sealed my commitment to UNMSOL and allowed me to freely commit to the state and issues that I am passionate about, unburdened by the economic hardship that accompanies law school."
Stories like hers highlight how the tournament's impact extends far beyond the event itself, shaping careers and strengthening communities.
With continued support from dedicated sponsors like Nusenda Credit Union and a growing network of participants, the UNM Law Scholarship Golf Classic remains a vital source of opportunity for current and future law students.
We encourage alumni, community members and supporters to sign up early and be part of this impactful tradition. Your participation helps ensure that more students can pursue their legal education with fewer financial barriers and greater freedom to serve their communities.
