Nevada Promise Scholarship > Bridge to Success

B2S is a program intended to help high school seniors make a successful transition to WNC. We understand that attending college is a new and unknown experience, so college advisors visit area schools to guide students through the steps to attend WNC.

During high school visits, our advisors will help you:

1. Apply to Western Nevada College
2. Attend a New Student Orientation
3. Attend a Financial Aid/Scholarship Workshop
4. Take Accuplacer Assessment or Submit Eligible ACT/SAT Scores
5. Meet with a WNC Counselor and Register for Classes

Bridge to Success Program Goals:

• Increase educational expectations for participating students
• Increase student and parent knowledge of postsecondary education options including: application process, financial aid opportunities, placement tests, scheduling, and class selection
• Increase participation rate of high school students in postsecondary education
• Increase awareness of WNC degrees and programs
