Teach Nevada Scholarships are available to candidates who wish to pursue a Nevada teaching career. Eligible candidates include recent high school graduates who have not yet enrolled in a teacher preparation program; students who are currently enrolled in a non-education related college/university degree program and change their academic program to teacher preparation; students who have completed some credits at a university or college who re-enroll in a teacher preparation program; veterans and spouses of veterans; or students who have some experience working in a classroom, including, without limitation, as a paraprofessional or substitute teacher. Students who are awarded scholarships by their teacher preparation program will receive 75% of the scholarship for reimbursement of tuition, books, and fees. 25% of the scholarship is retained by NDE and disbursed to the student after five consecutive years of successful teaching in a Nevada public school per guidelines.
