The UNM Center for Environmental Arts & Humanities (CEAH) in the Department of Art is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2024-2025 Native American Environmental Arts and Humanities Scholarship for undergraduate students. There are seven recipients this year: Gerardo Guerrero (Chichimeca), Monika Toledo (Navajo Nation), Cyrrene Giaccardo (Pueblo of San Felipe), Nicole Pelt (Navajo Nation), and Micaela Bennalley (Navajo Nation) will each receive $2,500. Previous scholarship recipients Dillon Crosby (Navajo Nation) and Daniels Tso-Begay (Navajo Nation) will each receive $1,500 in support this year.
The recipients are in their Sophomore, Junior, or Senior years. They are studying Studio Arts, Native American Studies, Communications and Journalism, and English.
The Center for Environmental Arts & Humanities expresses its deepest appreciation to Professor Clarence Cruz (Tewa from Ohkay Owingeh, formerly known as San Juan Pueblo) for his time evaluating these applications.
The Native American Environmental Arts & Humanities Scholarship for undergraduate students at UNM is made possible with a grant from the Mellon Foundation.
The Center for Environmental Arts & Humanities congratulates and celebrates Gerardo, Monika, Cyrrene, Nicole, Micaela, Dillon, and Daniel and wishes them our very best as they work toward completing their bachelor’s degrees at UNM this year or continuing to the next year in their studies. We look forward to sharing more of their work later this year, including new works that they may create with support from the scholarship.
