LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Several early education centers across Nevada are set to receive over $5 million in scholarships to help families in need.
United Way of Southern Nevada and United Way of Northern Nevada and the Sierra have selected 32 centers to receive $5,828,130 to assist in the enrollment process by allowing selected children to attend preschool for free.
“We have seen the positive impact that this program has made on the lives of thousands of working families and teachers who are equipped with the necessary resources to support their students,” Julian High President and CEO of UWSN said. “We are humbled by the trust the State of Nevada’s Department of Education places in our organization because of this program.”
Scholarships have been issued through participating centers to families in need with four-year-old children. All centers participate in the Quality Rating Improvement Systems (QRIS) created by the Nevada Department of Education.
