Career and Technical Scholarship

Whether you are changing a profession, striving for a promotion in your job or currently training for a career, the William N. Pennington Foundation Career and Technical Scholarship is an opportune higher education funding option for students at Western Nevada College.

Because of the generosity of the William N. Pennington Foundation, WNC is able to offer scholarship funding to students to pursue meaningful careers in fields such as computer information technology/cybersecurity, welding, automotive, machine tool technology, manufacturing, construction, truck driving, phlebotomy, nursing assistant and emergency medical services careers.

This scholarship has been created to support students who are pursuing careers in fields that are high demand with local employers. This scholarship aims to improve the well-being of our community by offering students, with financial need, the opportunity to redefine their careers and ultimately their lives by learning the skills necessary to obtain meaningful employment in Northern Nevada.
