Millennium Scholarship Information

Nevada's Governor Guinn Millennium Scholarship was enacted into law by the Nevada Legislature.

This legislation (NRS 396.911) created the Governor Guinn Millennium Scholarship trust fund, administered by the state treasurer. The Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) Board of Regents adopted policy guidelines for the administration of the scholarship.

The purpose of these scholarships is to reward excellence in academic achievement and encourage more high school graduates to attend college.
