CARSON CITY — The Nevada State Treasurer’s Office announced Friday that the open enrollment period for the Nevada Prepaid Tuition Program has been extended one month, and now closes April 30, 2016.
The Nevada Prepaid Tuition Program locks in in-state tuition at today’s prices, meaning parents and students won’t have to pay more when tuition costs increase in the future.
“It’s no joke that the deadline for enrollment has been extended,” said Dan Schwartz, Nevada State Treasurer. “Our hope is that more Nevada families will have the opportunity to enroll in this incredible program.”
Don’t wait! The program will close to new 2016 enrollees on April 30, 2016. Program benefits may be used at any eligible school in the country – meaning in-state benefits can be used toward tuition costs at public or private colleges, universities or trade schools that are eligible to participate in federal student aid.

The Nevada Prepaid Tuition Program works in conjunction with other 529 college savings plans or scholarships to which cover additional college expenses, including books, fees and housing.
