Information for Donors
Many students receive scholarships from private and community organizations. We encourage donors to send checks to the University for disbursement to the student. This ensures that the student is enrolled, and that the funds are used for educational expenses.
Scholarship check(s) should be made payable to the Board of Regents and mailed to:
Office of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships
Fitzgerald Student Services Building/0076
University of Nevada, Reno
Reno, NV 89557
Please include all of the following information with the check:
- Student’s full name and Student ID (NSHE Number).
- Total amount of the scholarship for the academic year
- Unless otherwise noted, checks in amounts $499 and below will be disbursed in their entirety in the fall semester.
- Checks in amounts of $500 or more will be divided into equal disbursements for fall and spring terms.
- Minimum number of credits
- A full-time student maintains an enrollment of 12 credits minimum per semester. We will require full-time enrollment unless it is noted otherwise.
Concurrent enrollment at another institution is not considered in the credit requirement. Therefore, it must be indicated if credits at another college, such as TMCC or WNC, can to be included in the total credit requirement.
- A full-time student maintains an enrollment of 12 credits minimum per semester. We will require full-time enrollment unless it is noted otherwise.
Disbursement Procedure
- Funds should be received by August 1 for the fall semester and January 1 for the spring semester to allow time to verify the student’s enrollment and deposit the check into the student’s account to pay outstanding charges to the University.
- After all charges are paid, funds remaining are issued to the student. Therefore, an early receipt of the check is important.
- Late charges for tuition begin to accrue to the student’s account at the end of the first week of classes. To avoid this situation, a written confirmation that the check is in the mail can be faxed to the Scholarship Coordinator at (775) 784-1025.
