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's owner/operators.
RMHC of Greater Las Vegas has been offering scholarships to local students since 1999. Since then, our chapter has awarded more than $4.4 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 RMHC Las Vegas High School 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.
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 $2.3 million in newspaper contributions have been donated to the Program. In 2019 alone, McDonald's newspaper contributions totaled more than $70,000.
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 $60,000 towards the 2019/2020 Program:
Together, RMHC of Greater Las Vegas, McDonald's owner/operators of Greater Las Vegas, and community partners have awarded more than $4.4 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."
- Eva Martin, Past Board President of RMHC of Greater Las Vegas and local McDonald's owner/operator.
