UNLV Tuition+ Award Program

This award provides Nevada residents, DACA or undocumented Nevada residents, whose Expected Family Contribution (EFC) falls within Federal Pell Grant eligibility range, enough grant funds to pay for 12 credit hours of tuition and fees each semester, plus another $1,000 for books for the school year.

This program will be effective beginning fall semester 2020.

The award varies based upon the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) from the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or Alternate Need Determination Form (assuming the EFC would have been Federal Pell Grant eligible if able to complete the FAFSA). The actual award value range is $1,700 to $8,000.

Selected students will be notified of an award within his or her MyUNLV Communication Center.
