A Place of Infinite Possibilities

As you consider your future, consider UNLV.
We are different, daring, and diverse.

UNLV stands with its Black staff, faculty, and students in support of continuing efforts toconfront anti-Black racism and demand systemic change in our community and nation. In June 2020, UNLV President Marta Meana convened a campuswide Anti-Black Racism Task Force of faculty, staff, and students to identify related issues within the university and to recommend concrete actions we can take to improve the safety, well-being, and overall experience for its Black students and employees.

A Different Value

UNLV is an affordable choice, costing just half the price of the national average. In addition to our low-cost tuition, most of our students benefit from loans, grants, scholarships, and work-study programs to help pay their college expenses, ensuring an affordable education.

"This funding was important because it allowed me to enjoy college without the stress of worrying about money."
