The Patterson & Gallegos Scholarship - Available for CNM Students

Zia Building Maintenance is proud to offer the Patterson & Gallegos Scholarship to CNM students for the 2024-2025 academic year.

“We believe that education is a right, not a privilege,” said Ashley Sanchez, general manager of Zia Building Maintenance during a short interview about the Patterson & Gallegos Scholarship.
My grandparents couldn’t choose what they wanted to do with their life. They needed to pay the bills. So they cleaned. My mom (Sandra Ortiz) bought the business 20+ years ago because she wanted more time and flexibility to be with me at home.”

The scholarship is named after her grandparents, and is now available for CNM students enrolled for the 2024-2025 academic year.
