Public Education Foundation Scholarships

About the Public Education Foundation Scholarships

The Public Education Foundation scholarships let a Southern Nevada high school senior complete one application and match to many local awards at once. As of 24 July 2026, the exact application window is unclear from the available details, but the programme is confirmed for the 2025/2026 academic year. If you live in Clark County and plan to start college, this single application can connect you to a range of funding without repeat paperwork.

The Public Education Foundation scholarships run on a match model. You submit your information once, and the system compares it against the criteria of dozens of donor-funded awards. Because eligibility varies by fund, one applicant can qualify for several scholarships from the same form.

Who Runs the Programme

The Public Education Foundation hosts and administers these scholarships. The Foundation supports students and educators across Southern Nevada and manages the donor funds behind each award. Applications are processed through the Kaleidoscope platform, which handles the matching and submission for the Public Education Foundation scholarships.

Study Level and Eligible Fields

This programme is for high school seniors preparing to enter college. The available details do not restrict awards to a specific major or field of study. Because each donor fund sets its own rules, some individual scholarships may favour certain fields, but the general application itself is open across study areas.

How Many Scholarships Are Offered

The exact number of awards is not specified. However, the programme is built around a single application matching to many local scholarships, so one form can put you in the running for multiple awards rather than just one.

Who Can Apply

These scholarships target students based in Southern Nevada. To qualify at the general level, you must meet the residency and education-level conditions below.

• You are a resident of Nevada (NV).
• You are a student in Southern Nevada, specifically Clark County.
• You are currently a high school senior.
• You plan to continue into higher education in the United States.

Individual donor funds may add their own conditions, such as school, financial need, or field of study. The general application checks your details against all of these automatically.

Funding and Benefits

The award value depends on which local scholarships you match to, and the specific amounts are not stated here. Because a single application connects you to many funds, your total potential funding can come from more than one source. Each matched scholarship carries its own value and terms set by the donor.

Eligibility Requirements

Review these points before you start the Public Education Foundation scholarships application:

• Nevada residency is required.
• You must be a Southern Nevada or Clark County student.
• You must be a high school senior at the time of applying.
• You must complete the general application so the system can match you to relevant local awards.

Meeting the general criteria opens the door, but each matched fund may check additional requirements before making an award.

How to Apply for the Public Education Foundation Scholarships

You apply online through the Kaleidoscope platform linked below. Create an account, complete the general application, and submit it so the system can match you to local scholarships. Because one application feeds many awards, fill in every field accurately.

The application relates to the 2025/2026 academic year. An exact closing date is not listed in the details available, so confirm the current deadline directly on the official website before you submit. Scholarship deadlines are firm, and late applications are usually not accepted, so apply as early as you can within the open window.

The available details do not list specific supporting documents or a direct contact email. When you open the application, check the on-screen instructions, since donor funds often ask for items such as transcripts, proof of enrollment, or a short essay. Use the contact or help options on the platform for any questions about your submission.
