Congratulations FYE Connection Award Recipients

Student Success is excited to recognize the Fall 2024 FYE Connection Award recipients! Engaging in First-Year Experience (FYE) programs has a proven impact on student success, and we’re proud to reward the commitment of new Rebels who make the most of these opportunities.

The FYE Connection Award provides $250 scholarships to 10 new-to-UNLV students each fall and spring semester. Eligible students earn up to 10 entries into the scholarship drawing by participating in qualified FYE experiences throughout the semester.
