By Lorraine Jewett | Special to The Union Scholarships Totaling $961,225 were presented to 133 graduating seniors of the five schools within the Nevada Joint Union High School District. “Out of 655 district seniors, 337 of them participated in the scholarship process,” says Linda Melugin, director of the Nevada Joint Union High School District Scholarship Program. The district’s scholarship program is supported by more than 160 local donors, community groups, and the NJUHSD Foundation. The scholarship program recently became a completely digital platform through a partnership with Going Merry, a national digital scholarship assistance provider. “The success overall can be attributed to moving to a digital platform,” adds Linda, “and having more engagement with students and families through classroom visits and workshops…”
