We, the Inyo County educational community, in cooperation with our sister schools (Cerro Coso Community College and the University of Nevada at Reno), do promise that the graduates of an Inyo County High School have two guaranteed options for higher education:
Cerro Coso Community College, Bishop and University of Nevada, Reno
a. Any student will be eligible to apply for a full scholarship through the Eastern Sierra Foundation, which covers in-state enrollment fees and up to $500 per semester for required books in order to complete an Associate of Arts of Science (AA/AS) degree, transfer requirements, or a professional degree program. Students must be enrolled in a least 9 units on the Bishop Campus each semester and maintain all other scholarship requirements.
b. Students who complete the transfer requirements from Cerro Coso with a minimum 3.00 cumulative transfer GPA (calculated only on the courses taken that will transfer to the University of Nevada, Reno) will be considered for the Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE).
>> See WUE link for official policy, savings and deadlines.
c. Students who complete transfer requirements from Cerro Coso with a 2.75-2.99 cumulative transfer GPA (calculated only on the courses taken that will transfer to the University of Nevada, Reno) will be considered for the Pack Exchange Program.

The Inyo County Office of Education will grant a $1,000 scholarship to all Inyo County high school students who attend UNR as a freshman to offset books and tuition costs.
