Sure, being a member of the UNLV Alumni Association is a great way to give back to the university that made you successful. But did you know that alumni association members are entitled to a multitude of benefits, including the Child of Alumni Scholarship?
The Odds:
Each year, the alumni association awards approximately four new Child of Alumni Scholarships. The scholarships are renewed annually if the student is enrolled full time and has earned at least a 3.0 GPA at UNLV.
Who Gets It?
Open to parents who are lifetime association members or have been annual members for the past three consecutive years, the Child of Alumni Scholarship program offers eligible incoming freshmen $1,000 per year for up to four years. It’s a great way to pay for books, parking, and other essentials that will make your child’s college journey more manageable.
Application Info:
To apply for the scholarship, the student just needs to complete the annual financial aid application available online through the UNLV student financial services office. Applicants must have a minimum high school GPA of 3.2 or an ACT score of 20.
