Since its scholarship program began in 2001, Greater Nevada has awarded $129,000 to 129 students.
Applications are provided to public high schools throughout northern Nevada every spring, and students planning to attend college or a trade school after graduation are encouraged to apply.
Winners are selected based on academic performance, school and community involvement, recommendations from school and community leaders, and financial need. Applicants must be Greater Nevada members or the child, spouse or parent of a member.
