Who Can Apply:
- Youth in rural Nevada face many challenges not shared by their urban neighbors and don’t benefit from the same opportunities.
- These rural communities often go overlooked and underserved, with more populous areas paying little attention to their needs. As a result, the key to improving these communities stems from personal engagement from residents so individuals can make positive changes from the inside.
- This scholarship seeks to support students who are committed to fostering change in their communities through their pursuit of higher education.
- Any high school student in Lyon County, Nevada, may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they’re passionate about making a difference.

- What would you like to see improve in your community?
- What has been your experience as a youth experiencing these problems in your community?
- What action steps have you taken to personally make your community a better place?
- What actions do you have planned, both short-term and long-term, to be a change maker within your community?
