“Through the scholarship program, RMH makes a long-standing commitment to education while investing in future leaders,” said Marty Ozer, RMHC Executive Director. "Students across northern Nevada work hard to earn top marks and they dream of the college they'll attend and the education they'll receive," said Marty Ozer, Executive Director. "Unfortunately, many of those students can’t afford to get the education of their dreams. We want these students to reach their full potential. To help them accomplish this, our network of donors, along with RMHC Global, offer scholarships to students with financial need who have demonstrated academic achievement, leadership and community involvement."
The scholarship award may be used for tuition and books at any full-time accredited school, including trade schools and out-of-state colleges. Although this is a national scholarship program, students do not compete on a national basis. RMHC Northern Nevada only receives and evaluates the applications of students from the northern Nevada region. Applicants will be notified of scholarship award status in May 2013.
