Charles and Phyllis Frias Legacy Scholarship

The Charles and Phyllis M. Frias Charitable Trust — funded by the founder of Frias Transportation, Nevada's largest transportation company — awards a four-year, debt-free college scholarship worth $100,000 total to graduating high school seniors in Clark, Nye, Lincoln, or Esmeralda County (Southern Nevada) who have faced a significant life hardship. The program has supported 60 students since launching in 2022, and the Trust has distributed more than $29.5 million across those four counties since 2018. The Trust does not publish an online application; interested seniors should ask their high school counselor about the current cycle.
