Nevadas State Legislature obviously wants high school seniors to go on to college immediately after graduating.
The legislature has provided funding to cover tuition and other mandatory fees not met by federal or state aid for up to three years through the Nevada Promise Scholarship.
Nevada high school students graduating in spring 2022 must apply for the Nevada Promise Scholarship no later than Oct. 31, 2021 to receive this generous opportunity.

The scholarship stands to save Nevada families more than $3,000 per year. There are no income or high school GPA requirements and it is open to all Nevada high school students graduating between Aug. 1 and June 15 who begin classes at WNC in the fall immediately following graduation.
WNC is committed to helping applicants fulfill the requirements to maintain eligibility. Other requirements to receive the scholarship are completing a training session, applying for FAFSA, following up with the Financial Assistance Office with requested documentation, fulfilling community service obligations, meeting with your mentor, taking a placement test, attending a new student orientation and registering for at least 12 units of classes.
