2020-2021 Scholarship Application

Education Fund of Northern Nevada (EFNN) is a Nevada non-profit corporation which was formed by a group

of Nevada businessmen for the express purpose of soliciting donations and providing scholarships as authorized

under the provisions of the Nevada Educational Choice Scholarship Program (NECSP). The law governing the

NECSP allows businesses to contribute their Nevada Modified Business Tax to a qualified Scholarship Grant

Organization approved by the State of Nevada Department of Education. The Education Fund of Northern

Nevada is one of the Scholarship Grant Organizations in Nevada.

EFNN is also a qualified charitable organization pursuant to Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code

and as such, contributions made to EFNN are deductible for federal tax purposes as charitable contributions. All

businesses making contributions to EFNN should consult their individual accountants or other tax professionals

regarding the specific tax consequences of contributions to EFNN.

What makes Education Fund of Northern Nevada different is that the board of directors, administrators,

accountants, and office staff are all from Nevada. Our office is in Reno, Nevada and all our people are part of

the local and State community. We understand the need for private education in The State of Nevada.

EFNN Scholarship Criteria and Procedures

EFNN Scholarship grants will be made in accordance with Nevada state law and on the basis of objective and

nondiscriminatory criteria. The procedure through which scholarship recipients (“Students”) will be selected is

as follows:

1. EFNN’s scholarship committee will review completed scholarship applications received by

EFNN. An application for a scholarship grant is not considered completed until all information requested below

has been received by the scholarship committee.

2. The general criteria which will be considered by the Scholarship Committee in awarding

scholarships on an objective and nondiscriminatory basis will include, but will not necessarily be limited to, the

following:

a. financial need:

With respect to financial need, as required by Nevada law, scholarships will be awarded only to

individuals who are members of a household that has household income that is not more than three hundred

percent (300%) of the federally designated level signifying poverty. Please do not submit an application

unless you reasonably believe your household income is below the level that applies to you as EFNN

cannot award scholarships to students whose income is above the applicable level. For the 2020-2021

school year, the federally designated levels signifying poverty and the amount equal to 300% of each level are

as follows:

Household income is determined under the US Department of Agriculture’s Income Eligibility

Guidelines for qualification for free and reduced-priced meals and includes for all Household Members, the sum

of the following: (a) monetary compensation for services, including wages, salary, commissions or fees; (b) net

income from non-farm self-employment; (c) net income from farm self-employment; (d) Social Security; (e)

dividends or interest on savings bonds or income from estates or trusts; (f) net rental income; (g) public

assistance or welfare payments; (h) unemployment compensation; (i) government civilian employee or military

retirement, or pensions or veterans payments; (j) private pensions or annuities; (k) alimony or child support

payments; (l) regular contributions from persons not living in the household; (m) net royalties; and (n) other

cash income, such as amounts received or withdrawn from any source including savings, investments, trust

accounts and other resources. Household Member means anyone who is living with you and shares income and

expenses, even if not related.

The amount of each scholarship awarded to a Student for any fiscal year cannot exceed the maximum

amount authorized by Nevada law. For the 2019-2020 school year, this amount was $8,262. All scholarship

grants will be paid by EFNN directly to the Nevada school selected by the Student’s parent or guardian for

attendance.

3. EFNN may award scholarships for attendance at a high school or other qualified educational institution

on an annual basis. Each recipient must reapply each year. Only renewal applicants will be considered

presuming the recipient continues to satisfy all of the requirements of EFFN, Nevada state law and the

applicable Nevada school. EFNN intends to obtain reports from the Student’s school to determine the Student’s

performance at the school for which the scholarship grant was awarded.
