Scholarships are monetary awards that assist students in their pursuit of an education. GBC has a variety of scholarships made available by the generosity of multiple donors. Scholarships are awarded based on the criteria chosen by the donors. GBC Foundation Scholarships are awarded annually with the application deadlines set during the month of March for the subsequent academic year. Should an award recipient become ineligible or choose not to enroll they will forfeit the award.

 

Nevada Governor Kenny Guinn established the Millennium Scholarship in 1999 from a tobacco company settlement trust fund. Monies from the trust fund provide scholarships for Nevada high school graduates. This scholarship is available for each qualified student to use for education costs. The scholarship eligibility is determined at the Nevada high school level. The student must enroll in at least nine credits applicable to their degree. The scholarship pays $40 per credit hour for lower-division courses and $60 per credit hour for upper-division courses. The scholarship will pay up to 15 credits per semester. Students must acknowledge their award on the Nevada State Treasurer鈥檚 Office website before funds can be disbursed. Millennium Scholarship eligibility requirements are separate from financial aid satisfactory academic progress.

 

The Nevada Promise Scholarship was established by the Nevada Legislature in 2017. This scholarship provides last-dollar financial aid to Nevada students attending any of the state鈥檚 four community colleges: College of Southern Nevada, 糖心传媒, Truckee Meadows Community College, or Western Nevada College.

 

As a last-dollar scholarship, the Nevada Promise Scholarship covers the cost of the registration fee and mandatory fees (tuition is not charged to residents of Nevada) not covered by other gift aid. Gift aid is defined as a Federal Pell Grant, a Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), a Silver State Opportunity Grant (SSOG), or a Governor Guinn Millennium Scholarship (GGMS).

 

To be considered for an award, interested students must, by established deadlines, complete the Nevada Promise Scholarship application, apply for admission to their college of choice, file a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), work with mentors, and perform 8 hours of community service per semester. Scholarship availability is determined by the Nevada Legislature.
