The Sierra Nevada College Millennium Plus Scholars Award is a $50,000 scholarship (four years at $12,500) earmarked for the approximately 8,000 2011 graduating high school seniors who will be eligible for the Guinn Millennium Scholarships.

Students are awarded Guinn Millennium Scholarship recipient status upon graduating from a Nevada high school with a 3.25 gpa and completing a rigorous high school curriculum. Students interested in receiving Sierra Nevada College’s Millennium Plus Scholars Award — which supplements the Guinn Millennium Scholarship — must meet the Nevada state scholarship eligibility requirements and apply for the award by Sept. 1.

Students may apply the $1,980 from the state and $12,500 from Sierra Nevada College (both annual amounts) toward tuition.
