The Full Picture in Nevada
Nevada passed a universal ESA in 2015 (the first in the country) but the legislature never funded it. The only active state program is the Educational Choice Scholarship, a tax credit model for families below 300% FPL. If you qualify, scholarships up to $7,755 put a dent in the $10,200 average tuition. For families above the income limit, school-based aid is the only option. Las Vegas has the most options — Henderson and Summerlin have growing private school markets.
How to Apply for Aid in Nevada
Apply for state programs first
Apply through your state's scholarship-granting organizations (SGOs) for tax credit scholarships. These have the biggest awards.
Apply for school-based aid at every school
Most schools use TADS, FACTS, or SSS for financial aid assessment. Apply by January-February for the following school year. School aid stacks with state programs.
Check private scholarship organizations
Local nonprofits, community foundations, and religious organizations often provide additional scholarships. Search "[your city] private school scholarships" for local options.
