UNLV's Community2Campus office has several scholarships available for nontraditional students who have been out of school for some time.
Nontraditional students include students who are attending college for the first time after many years of full-time employment; are transferring from other institutions; have full-time jobs, taking night classes; or are part-time students, parents, or military veterans.
To be eligible for the scholarships, students must be admitted to UNLV. Scholarships for the 2013-2014 academic year are due by 5 p.m. on Friday, April 12. Scholarship applications are available on the Community2Campus web site.
