The University of New Mexico lists the Western Undergraduate Exchange Program (WUE and WUE Plus) as a scholarship category for certain non-resident students. The page describes eligibility based on where the applicant lives and gives the tuition levels tied to WUE (pay 1.5 times the resident rate) and WUE Plus (pay the New Mexico resident tuition rate). It also states that the scholarships are renewable for 4 years.
