The Dr. Karen M. Trujillo Memorial Foundation is currently funding scholarships at New Mexico State University and Western New Mexico University, with plans to expand to all Universities throughout New Mexico that offer Teacher Education Programs and scholarships.

“She was especially dedicated to the mission of Educators Rising New Mexico, an organization she founded which cultivates highly skilled educators by guiding young people on the path to becoming teachers.”

“At the end of every email here at LCPS, Dr. Trujillo’s signature line was “In service to the children and educators of Las Cruces.” Her life emulated those words every minute of every day, and those are the words that will help the rest of us see her vision to reality.”
