Incoming new freshmen may also qualify for the Presidential Scholarship, worth an additional $8,000 per year for four years of undergraduate study. CONFLICT (2026-08-07): UNR's non-residents grid page simultaneously lists 'Presidential Level Scholarship ($10,000/year)' for the same award, while its stackable-awards page corroborates the lower figure ('Presidential Scholarship (four-year value of $32,000)' = $8,000/yr). Conservative $8,000 recorded until UNR reconciles -- never the higher of two published numbers.unr.edu (read 2026-08-07)
Which of these a student actually clears depends on GPA, test score, home state, and major. A free Graidy account works that out award by award, and shows what is left to pay after it.
Cost of attendance as published: tuition, fees, housing, and food for one year. It is the sticker, before any of the awards above and before need-based aid.
