Scholarships - Applications & Instructions

How to Apply

The scholarship application is divided into two parts, “A” & “B.” - Download forms below.  There is a unique "Part-A" for each scholarship."Part-A" is mostly informational, but can contain an additional form(s) that must be filled out and returned - depending on the scholarship. Only return "Part-A" if there are extra pages.

"Part-B" of each scholarship application remains the same. You must change the drop down box to correctly identify the scholarship for which you are applying on "Part-B." Each scholarship that you apply for must also have a "Part-B" to accompany it.

Starting this year, "Part-A" and "Part-B" application forms are in save-able Adobe PDF forms, meaning you can fill them out and save them to your computer. You can then attach and eMail completed forms to the PEF. If applying for more than one scholarship, you can save copies of Part-B and change the scholarship drop-down for each one. 

If you plan to eMail your application(s), please send one (1) eMail per application package. If, for example, you apply for three (3) different scholarships, send three (3) different eMail messages to the PEF - each one containing attachments for Part-A (if required) and Part-B. You must continue to mail unofficial transcripts as well as letters of recommendations to the PEF. Your eMail application file names should adhere to the following file naming rules:

Attachment File Name Rules

PartA_lastnameFirst&MiddleInitials_student#_scholarship
PartB_lastnameFirst&MiddleInitials_student#_scholarship

Example: If your name is Jane Doe with student number 12345, and you are applying for the Southern Nevada Sports Hall of Fame scholarship, your "Part-A" and "Part-B" filenames should read as follows:

PartA_doeJ_12345_SNVSports
PartB_doeJ_12345_SNVSports

Since scholarship names can be long, shorten the number of letters you use in your filename.

Mailed Hard Copies (NOT REQUIRED)

As a "green" initiative, we encourage you to eMail your completed application(s) as attachments. We recognize that you will still be mailing your unofficial transcripts as well as letters of recommendation, or you may choose to drop them off directly to the PEF.  Your scholarship will not be presented to the donor if you do not have all of the required documents for each application.

If you need to mail paper copies of your application(s), please put multiple applications in one flat envelope, separating each application with a paperclip. Do not fold or staple your application. If you submit multiple applications, include enough copies of your transcripts, resumes, and letters of recommendation, etc. All documents submitted should be printed on single-sided, standard-size (8 ½" by 11") paper.

Additional documents such as transcripts and letters of recommendation must be included with the rest of your application and NOT sealed in separate envelopes. Unofficial-unsealed transcripts and letters of recommendation are acceptable.

Documents must be submitted in the same order as listed on page two (2) of the application. Folders, report covers, etc. used to submit your application will be discarded.
