La Tierra Sagrada Society

When You Give, You Belong.

The mission of the La Tierra Sagrada Society (LTSS) is to advance health care in New Mexico by cultivating a membership of donors who support need-based scholarships for students in the UNM School of Medicine.

LTSS has a vision for a community dedicated to reducing student debt in pursuit of equitable access to improved health care and a more diverse workforce in New Mexico.

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.
Since our founding in 1996, we have awarded more than $2.1 million to over 300 scholarship recipients.
