Honors College is proud to oversee awarding of the MGM Resorts International Academic Excellence Scholarship. Established in 2006 with a generous gift from MGM Resorts International, the endowed scholarship aims at attracting top high school students to the Honors College at UNLV for an exceptional undergraduate education. Partnering with community donors such as MGM empowers the Honors College to recruit and retain the best and brightest students and invest in our future leaders. Importantly, this scholarship also communicates to students that their community has high hopes for them and their accomplishments.

MGM Resorts International Scholars receive a minimum annual award of $2,000 for up to four years. To be eligible for the scholarship, students must have a minimum unweighted high school GPA of 3.9 and be enrolled full time in the Honors College. To continue receiving the award, students must remain in good standing in the Honors College.
