La Tierra Sagrada Society

When You Give, You Belong.

The La Tierra Sagrada Society is dedicated to serving the present and shaping the future of health care by providing need-based scholarships to students in the UNM School of Medicine.

One hundred percent of contributions to LTSS go directly toward funding scholarships and growing the scholarship endowment. Our state’s health care provider shortage leaves the future well-being of all New Mexicans vulnerable. Much of the challenge in keeping UNM School of Medicine alumni in New Mexico is linked to the ever-increasing burden of student debt. By joining the La Tierra Sagrada Society, you can help shoulder that financial weight through scholarship support.

Together we can ensure these future providers have the freedom to practice here at home.

One hundred percent of contributions to LTSS go directly toward funding scholarships and growing the scholarship endowment.

Since our founding in 1996, we have awarded more than $2 million to over 300 scholarship recipients.
