Thanks to partnerships with charitable foundations and local and national government initiatives, you may have access to tuition assistance sources.
The Deep Dive Bootcamps are non-credit courses that are not eligible for traditional financial aid, nor New Mexico’s Opportunity Scholarship. However, many applicants qualify for tuition assistance that can cover some or all of their tuition costs. Tuition assistance may also be available to help offset other costs. The following resources have specific qualification requirements. Our staff will work to connect you with as many resources as are available to you. Please apply to the bootcamp before applying for these payment options.
Training For Your Future Fund (TFF) is a fund specific to CNM Ingenuity. If you do not qualify for other forms of tuition assistance, Training For Your Future Funds could be the funding source you need!
Applications may be considered based on individual financial need or training aligned with the economic development priorities of the City of Albuquerque and State of New Mexico.
Successful applicants will provide detailed responses to the application questions, will include a compelling personal story, and will make a strong case as to how this opportunity will contribute to their career goals or will contribute to New Mexico’s economy. Those who have received funding from CNMI to participate in training within the prior year will not be eligible.
CNM Ingenuity Student Profiles: You will need a CNM Ingenuity Student Profile as part of your application. If you are a returning CNM Ingenuity student or learner, you should already have a CNM Ingenuity Student ID. To look up your CNM Ingenuity Student ID, please log in to your CNM Ingenuity Account.
If you are a new participant, please create a CNM Ingenuity Student Account. You will receive an email confirmation with your CNM Ingenuity Student ID. If you need help resetting your password, please watch this brief video (a Spanish version of the video is also available).
Financial Need: Training For Your Future Funds are available if you demonstrate financial need, after other funding sources, including WIOA, DVR and Job Training Albuquerque, have been explored.
Economic Development Impact: Training For Your Future Funds are also available for individuals to upskill into or reskill to contribute to those sectors highlighted in the New Mexico Economic Development Department Statewide Plan areas to diversify New Mexico’s economy which include:

Since 2014, Deep Dive Bootcamps alone have graduated hundreds of learners. Through Deep Dive’s partnership with CNM, Veterans Education Benefits – Chapter 33 specifically – funded 6% of our learners who received tuition assistance. On average, that means every Deep Dive Bootcamp has at least one Veteran or family member.
Today, Deep Dive is in the process of becoming an approved provider for Veteran Education Benefits, including VR&E, Post 9/11 GI Bill, and Skillbridge funding.Updates on that process will be posted here. And, if you’d like the most current information, schedule a meeting with Deep Dive Program Director, Nora Meah. (Click the link to schedule: deepdive-meetings.com/nora-meah)

They can collect a credit card number over the phone, or can direct you where to go to pay by check or money order. Not all CNM Cashiers can apply payment to the bootcamps, so please wait for their call.
Payment for part time programs is required in full to register.
