During the 2015 legislative session, bill AB165 was passed providing a means for taxpayers to contribute funds to an approved Scholarship Organization in lieu of paying all or part of their modified business tax.

Silver State Scholarships is proud to be one of the registered Scholarship Grant Organizations.

Scholarships of up to $10,094.00 per student will be granted to students living in the State of Nevada that would like to attend a private school and are entering grades K through 12.  In order to receive the scholarship, the school must be registered with the Department of Education. (For a listing, click here).  The student must also be a member of a household that has a household income within 300% of the federally designated poverty level.

As our funds are limited, the scholarships will be granted in the order in which the signed, completed, and qualified application is received.

New Students:  We are waiting to hear from the Governor’s office to know if we are allowed to accept applications for new students.  We will not be advised until the Nevada Legislative Session is completed on June 2nd.  In the meantime, New Students, please do not send in applications until we post that we will have funding available for you. Please check back after June 2nd for updated information.

Returning Students:  Please send in your applications.  They must be postmarked between May 1st and May 14th.
