Parents and high school seniors - the clock is ticking! The Nevada Promise Scholarship, a tremendous opportunity to make college more affordable, has an important Oct. 31 deadline for applications.
High school seniors graduating in spring 2026 can apply now for this last-dollar scholarship, which helps cover up to three years of tuition and mandatory fees at Western Nevada College. By applying, students can save more than $3,000 per year on college costs.
Created by the Nevada Legislature in 2017, the Nevada Promise Scholarship is designed to close the financial gap left after federal or state aid, ensuring students can pursue higher education without being burdened by tuition and fees. Best of all, the scholarship is available to Nevada students regardless of income or GPA.
"The Nevada Promise Scholarship is truly transformative," said WNC President Dr. J. Kyle Dalpe. "It provides every high school graduating senior in Nevada the opportunity to continue their education at a community college without the concern of cost. At WNC, we are committed to supporting students and their families throughout the process to help ensure success. Students, be sure to meet the application deadline!"
To maintain eligibility, WNC representatives will guide students every step of the way, helping them complete requirements such as:
- Submitting a FAFSA application
- Participating in a training session
- Completing community service hours
- Meeting with a mentor
Eligibility is open to Nevada high school students graduating between Aug. 1 and June 15 who begin classes at WNC in the fall immediately following graduation. Students earning a GED or HSE prior to age 20 may also qualify.
The scholarship does not cover textbooks, lab fees, or housing, but it provides a clear and affordable pathway to higher education for students across the state.
