High school seniors planning to attend Western Nevada College in fall 2022 are eligible for early bird scholarships through WNC Foundation.

By completing a scholarship application by Oct. 31, high school seniors will be given priority for many scholarships, including the Dick Campagni Scholarship for High School Seniors. Applicants should have a minimum 2.5 grade point average and be graduating from a local high school.

Current and other prospective students are also invited to apply early for scholarships. Students have until April 1, 2022, to apply for scholarship funding for the 2022-23 academic year.

The scholarship application can be filled out starting Oct. 1 by going to wnc.edu/scholarship.

WNC representatives will be visiting local high schools in October to help seniors with their FAFSA and WNC Foundation scholarship applications.

WNC Foundation awarded more than $675,000 in scholarships to students for the 2021-22 academic year due to the generosity of donors and the Foundation’s various fundraising efforts.
