Hi everyone, I'm a high school junior currently attending school in Nevada, and I'm starting to look at scholarships to help with college costs. Does anyone know of any specific scholarships that are targeted at Nevada residents? Whether they're sponsored by state organizations or local businesses, I'd love to hear about any opportunities and deadlines coming up. Thanks for any tips you can share!
Sure, I can help with that! Here are a few scholarships for residents of Nevada to consider:
1. Governor Guinn Millennium Scholarship: It's a Nevada state scholarship named in honor of former Governor Kenny Guinn. It's merit-based and awards high school students with up to $10,000 over four years. The deadlines vary, so I recommend checking their website for the most accurate information.
2. The Public Education Foundation: This foundation sponsors a vast range of scholarships for residents of Nevada. Awards and deadlines vary depending on the specific scholarship, so look at their website for more details.
3. The Nevada County Association of Realtors Scholarship Program: The Nevada County Association of Realtors is committed to the highest standards of service to our members and the community. Thus, in creating goals in support of their mission, the association developed the NCAR Scholarship Program which is intended to provide honored recognition and financial support to local Nevada County students who demonstrate a commitment to a higher level of education.
One general tip for searching for scholarships is to use scholarship search tools, like Appily, to find scholarships tailored to you. Make sure to look into scholarships offered by colleges you're applying to, as many schools offer scholarships for in-state students. Similarly, check out any opportunities at local businesses, community organizations, or even your school district. These local scholarships often have a smaller applicant pool, giving you a better shot at the funds. Good luck with your scholarship search!
