All ºÚÁÏÍø Students Invited to Apply for Scholarships
Students shouldnt hesitate to apply for scholarship funding through the Foundation
this semester. The opportunity is for nearly all students now enrolled at Western
Nevada College, as well as prospective students.
The only requirements are that students be enrolled in at least six units, have a
minimum grade-point average of 2.0 and complete the application by April 1.
ºÚÁÏÍø Foundation has more than $700,000 in scholarship funding available for the 2022-23
academic year, making it possible for the Foundation to provide more students with
scholarships. The Foundation is able to provide more funding to students because of
the generosity of donors from the college, community, corporations and private donations,
as well as fundraising events such as the Golf For Education.
Best of all, students will be considered for several hundred scholarships when they
fill out the simple application at .
The application usually takes about 30 minutes to fill out and includes questions
that help the scholarship committee determine which students qualify for each scholarship,
said ºÚÁÏÍø Foundation Executive Director Niki Gladys.
Some scholarships require financial need, which means that students should make sure
to complete their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). However, there
are many scholarships that do not require a financial need and are awarded based on
other factors including community service, military service, academic achievement
and career plans. For this reason, all students are encouraged to apply regardless
of financial need or past academic performance.
Students who are training or planning to pursue a career in a technology-driven career
are also encouraged to apply for the William N. Pennington Foundation Career and Technical
Scholarship.
ºÚÁÏÍø offers scholarship funding to students pursuing meaningful careers in fields such
as computer information technology/cybersecurity, welding, automotive, machine tool
technology, manufacturing, construction, truck driving, and more. Apply at wnc.edu/scholarships.
