Tuition grants are available at Nevada state supported colleges and universities for the spouse and children of an active duty service member killed in the line of duty while permanently stationed in Nevada. Service members assigned to an ROTC detachment at a state supported school, and their spouse and children, can also get a grant. The amount depends on available funding and how many people apply. The grants do not cover lab or other special course fees and cannot be used at the William S. Boyd School of Law, the University of Nevada School of Medicine, or the University of Nevada, Las Vegas School of Dental Medicine.
Contact the financial aid office at the Nevada state supported college or university you plan to attend, since each institution awards these grants from its own allocation.
Documentation of the service member’s death in the line of duty and their Nevada duty station, or of the ROTC assignment, plus proof of your relationship to the service member.
