The RMHC® of Las Vegas Scholarship Program is designed to provide financial assistance to eligible graduating high school seniors who face limited access to educational and career opportunities. Scholarships are awarded by Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Greater Las Vegas, with support from local McDonald Owner/Operators.
RMHC® of Greater Las Vegas has been offering scholarships to local students since 1999. Since then, our chapter has awarded more than $4.3 million in scholarships.
RMHC® of Greater Las Vegas also partners with local organizations to offer additional scholarship opportunities that are unique to our Chapter. These partner scholarships can be found on the application, and may require additional supporting documents and/or eligibility criteria.
All complete applications submitted by students in Clark and Nye counties in Nevada are personally reviewed and selected by members of the RMHC® of Greater Las Vegas Scholarship committee. Decisions are based on academic achievement, financial need, personal and career goals, and community involvement. RMHC® of Greater Las Vegas does not select recipients based on ethnicity.
In 2005, Eva Martin established a donor advised scholarship program at the Ronald McDonald House® of Las Vegas as a memorial to her late husband, James W. Martin. Mrs. Martin annually contributes to support the memorial scholarship program. Funds are administered by the Ronald McDonald House staff and are awarded exclusively for scholarships benefitting, low-income, at-risk and/or minority students pursuing educational goals that will enhance their quality of life. Recipients are selected by Mrs. Martin or her daughter Roberta Martin.
McDonald's Owner/Operators of Greater Las Vegas help support the RMHC® of Greater Las Vegas Scholarship Program by contributing a portion of every Las Vegas Review-Journal newspaper sold in participating McDonald's restaurants. Since 2002, more than $2.2 million in newspaper contributions have been donated to the Program. In 2017 alone, McDonald's newspaper contributions totaled more than $105,500.
Partner scholarships are offered by various community organizations in an effort to offer a wider scope of scholarship opportunities to RMHC® applicants. The following partners contributed more than $65,000 towards the 2017/2018 Program:
Together, RMHC® of Greater Las Vegas, RMHC®, Inc., McDonald's Owner|Operators of Greater Las Vegas and community partners are approaching a total of $4.3 million in scholarships to local high school seniors since the program began in 1999.
This program allows us the opportunity to say to these young adults, "we believe in you and your future." We know that a number of these students wouldn't have the chance to go to college if it weren't for the support they're receiving from these scholarships.
