UNLV Receives Historic Gift
UNLV today announced a $12.625 million donation from the Engelstad Family Foundation to support the largest active scholarship program in the university's 52-year history and the largest active scholarship endowment in the history of the Nevada System of Higher Education.
The Engelstad Scholars' Program will award full-tuition scholarships — renewable for up to four years — to UNLV students annually based on academic excellence, leadership, community service involvement, and financial need. As part of the program requirements, selected students also will spend 100 hours each academic year engaged in community service with nonprofit organizations including the Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy, the Boys and Girls Clubs, and Three Square.
