Lyon County Community Engagement Youth Scholarship
Youth in rural Nevada face many challenges not shared by their urban neighbors and don’t benefit from the same opportunities.
These rural communities often go overlooked and underserved, with more populous areas paying little attention to their needs. As a result, the key to improving these communities stems from personal engagement from residents so individuals can make positive changes from the inside.
This scholarship seeks to support students who are committed to fostering change in their communities through their pursuit of higher education.
Any high school student in Lyon County, Nevada, may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they’re passionate about making a difference.
To apply, respond to two of the five questions below. Additionally, upload an image of your impact within your community.
Please respond to two of the following questions:
What would you like to see improve in your community?
What has been your experience as a youth experiencing these problems in your community?
What action steps have you taken to personally make your community a better place?
What actions do you have planned, both short-term and long-term, to be a change maker within your community?
Why are you passionate about making your community a better place for yourself, your family, and for future generations?
