Who We Are

A 501(c)(3) built to open doors for Las Vegas Valley students.

LVPMSA is proud to operate a 501(c)(3) charitable foundation dedicated to raising funds that provide scholarship opportunities for children in the Las Vegas Valley. Each year, we forge strategic partnerships with high schools located in economically disadvantaged areas, enabling students to apply for scholarships aimed at furthering their education.

Our mission is to empower these young individuals to pursue higher education and cultivate their potential as future leaders within our community — ensuring they have the resources and support necessary to achieve their educational goals and contribute positively to society.

And we hope 2027 will be bigger.

Each year the Foundation partners with a Las Vegas Valley high school so its students can apply directly for Foundation scholarships. For 2026, that partner is the Las Vegas Academy of the Arts.
