What I like best about UNLV: I admire UNLV’s strong emphasis on diversity, cultural appreciation, and innovation. What inspires me the most is how the university leverages the world-renowned city of Las Vegas to encourage students to become leaders and leave lasting legacies.

Going to UNLV. Don’t forget to fill out their Financial Aid Verification Form. Since the FAFSA is coming out on December 1, 2024, and you must have all your information in UNLV before November 15th (including your financial aid information), you must fill out the Financial Aid Verification Form to be considered for Merit Scholarships. To access the form, you must first apply to UNLV. Once you complete the admissions application to UNLV, you will receive an email with instructions on how to set up your ACE account. Once you do, you can go into your Rebel Success Hub at this link unlv.today/rebel-success. Once there, you will see the Financial Aid verification Home tab. Let me know if you have any questions, or you may also email Mark Cardozo, your UNLV Rep. Mr. Smyth
