We're lucky to live here and have all these businesses and organization working to help students.
Across the board the costs of education is increasing. The best deal is to go in-state - but we wouldn't want to limit a student's opportunity to go somewhere else if the program they are interested in is not offered in Nevada.
Last year we had 50 local sponsors who awarded 106 scholarships to 49 of our seniors.
There are only three (four-year) schools here in Nevada and unless you are going to one of those you are going out of state. In California, the public universities must accept the majority of their students from California - which sometimes presents a problem for Nevada students.
That $350,00 - that doesn't even include the money received outside of the community or the millennium scholarships. There is a lot of money out there for students.
