Chris Jones is the Nevada Promise Scholarship Coordinator at Truckee Meadows Community College. The Promise Scholarship is funded by the Nevada Legislature and covers per credit fees and technology fees at any Nevada System of Higher Education community college. Any Nevada resident who has a high school diploma (or equivalent) is eligible to receive the scholarship. Students who receive the three year scholarship are required to meet with a mentor, attend an orientation session, and complete 8 hours of community service per semester. There are no income or GPA requirements to receive a Promise Scholarship.
The Promise Scholarship mentors are volunteers from the community who agree to commit three to five hours per semester to the program. For additional information go to www.tmcc.edu/nevada-promise-scholarship
