Overview

The College of Liberal Arts is pleased to have the ability, based upon private funding, to award annual scholarships to undergraduate, graduate, and professional students pursuing a degree within the College of Liberal Arts (COLA). The scholarships awarded may vary from year to year based upon funding. COLA scholarships do not automatically renew.

Scholarships are awarded based upon factors established by the private donor, the College of Liberal Arts, and UNLV. Examples of such factors can include, but are not limited to, financial need, GPA, major or minor, and Nevada residence. Scholarship recipients are selected by COLA’s faculty financial aid and scholarship committee. Student information, such as their name and school, are not shared with COLA’s faculty financial aid and scholarship committee in order to make the selection process more equitable.
