Financial Aid & Scholarships

  • Are undocumented students eligible for need-based aid?: - Yes.

We will look into family income and determine aid need from that.
  • Other financial aid information: - Requirements for our institutional scholarships can be found at https://www.unr.edu/financial-aid/scholarships/first-year-scholarships . Questions should be directed to the Financial Aid office.
