Review-Journal seeks nominations for academic excellence awards

The Las Vegas Review-Journal is seeking nominations of outstanding Southern Nevada students to recognize with academic excellence awards.

Students in first through 12th grades can be nominated by anyone, such as teachers and school administrators, coaches, family members, friends and nonprofit organizations.

The deadline to submit a nomination is 5 p.m. April 9. Judges will select one winner in each grade level for the awards, presented by Subaru of Las Vegas.

“The Review-Journal is honored to recognize Southern Nevada’s most deserving students who are standouts in both class and community,” said Chase Rankin, senior vice president of sales and marketing. “This being our third year presenting the Academic Excellence Awards, we hope that teachers, parents, coaches, family, and friends will take the time to nominate a student whether they are attending public or private school virtually or in-person.”

To be eligible, students must show strengths in at least some of these areas: academic excellence, responsibility, leadership and extracurricular activity/community service.

Winners will be announced May 26 during a virtual awards show and their names will be listed that day in the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Each recipient will receive a $500 scholarship, as well as a $500 award for their school.
