University of Nevada at Las Vegas

In its 52-year history, UNLV has undergone an amazing transformation from a small branch college into a thriving urban research institution of 28,000 students and 3,300 faculty and staff.

Along the way, the urban land-grant university has become a dynamic resource for one of the country's fastest-growing and most enterprising cities. UNLV's 332-acre main campus, located on the southern tip of Nevada in a desert valley surrounded by mountains, is home to more than 220 undergraduate, master's, and doctoral degree programs, all accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities.

At UNLV, we've dedicated resources to help our students pay for college in a variety of ways, including reduced-tuition programs, scholarships, loans, and even a monthly payment plan that allows you to pay your tuition in smaller interest-free payments each month. We want to help take the stress out of paying for college so you can focus on your studies and enjoy your college experience.

The Financial Aid & Scholarships Office supports higher-education access and persistence by providing financial aid to eligible students. The office partners with student organizations, high schools, and other external constituents to provide financial aid learning opportunities.

The staff is committed to providing accurate, courteous, and timely service to parents and students. The office disbursed approximately $150 million in financial aid to students during the last school year.
