Los Alamos National Security, LLC (LANS) is donating $500,000 to the Senator Pete Domenici Endowed Scholarship Fund, which has been established in honor of New Mexico's senior senator.
The scholarship, to be managed by the Los Alamos National Laboratory Foundation, recognizes Domenici's more than three decades of support for northern New Mexico, the laboratory, and his efforts championing scientific research for the nation.
"This scholarship will be a lasting legacy to Senator Domenici," said Laboratory Director and LANS President Michael Anastasio. "And it will provide an investment in the future of northern New Mexico and the Laboratory by supporting area students in their pursuit of a higher education."
"I am grateful to have my name associated with a scholarship that will broaden future opportunities for youth in northern New Mexico," said Domenici. "Over the past 12 years, the Foundation has developed nicely into what I envisioned for it, namely an organization linked to the Laboratory that can foster better education and stronger communities."
