| Tahoe Award Consideration — amount not guaranteed Tahoe Award for new freshmen starting Fall 2027 who are residents of states outside Nevada and outside the WICHE region, pursuing a first bachelor's degree, enrolled in person. Requires a minimum 3.0 unweighted cumulative GPA; a standardized test score (no minimum) or completed placement test must also be on file. Full-time means 15 credits in fall and spring. Renewable for up to four consecutive years; renewal requires maintaining out-of-state residency, satisfactory academic progress, and 15 credits per semester (no numeric renewal GPA published). The general scholarship application (MyNEVADA) is one of the file items due by February 15, so separate_application_required is true. Pre-nursing/nursing majors, student athletes, study-abroad participants, international students, and students receiving out-of-state tuition waivers are not eligible. | 3.0 | — | — | $10,000 (published figure — not guaranteed) | $40,000 (published figure — not guaranteed) | out-of-state | February 15 | Yes | Official source Verified 2026-11-02 |
