The Nevada System of Higher Education has waived fees for family members of Nevada National Guard to attend NSHE institutions including Western Nevada College.
This benefit for Nevada National Guard families followed NSHE announcing approval of a fee waiver for Native Americans created during the 81st legislative session.
The fee waivers will assist these specific student populations to access the superb higher education opportunities available at Nevadas public universities and colleges, said Board of Regents Chair Cathy McAdoo.
Aimed at removing financial barriers to higher education, the fee waivers were enacted into law by Governor Sisolak and the Nevada Legislature.
Assembly Bill 156 expanded the fee waiver for active duty members of the Nevada National Guard by allowing such members to transfer existing registration and laboratory fee waivers to a spouse or child during a period of reenlistment. Eligibility includes the student maintaining a minimum 2.0 semester grade point average.
This legislation serves as a critical retention tool for members of the Nevada National Guard, said Maj. Gen. Ondra Berry, Nevada Adjutant General. Training takes time and money. Providing an incentive for Soldiers and Airmen to remain in the Nevada Guard maintains force readiness and saves taxpayer money. This is also a great way to thank our Guardsmen who have done so much throughout our states COVID-19 response, overseas deployments, wildland firefighting and civil unrest over the course of the last 18 months.
Chancellor Melody Rose added, I want to thank Governor Sisolak and the Nevada Legislature for creating these waivers that will increase access to NSHEs degree-granting institutions. These waivers are a great way to thank Nevadas National Guard members and their families for their service and to encourage Native Americans, a traditionally underrepresented student population, to achieve their higher education dreams.
