Governor Guinn Millennium Scholarship (GGMS) Information


In 1999, Governor Kenny Guinn’s Millennium Scholarship initiative was enacted into law by the Nevada Legislature. Section 396.911 of the Nevada Revised Statutes created the Millennium Scholarship Trust Fund to be administered by the State Treasurer. Later that year, the Nevada System of Higher Education’s Board of Regents adopted policy and procedure guidelines for the administration of the scholarship. Through the successful completion of a rigorous program of study at Nevada high schools, our state has seen a significant, positive impact – more than double the number of students are attending our colleges and universities since the program began.

    ATTENTION HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES:
     If you have met all of the requirements to receive a Millennium Scholarship, information will be mailed to you in early August. There is no application process. Read our Fact Sheet or speak to your school’s guidance counselor to see if you qualify.
