Student Support & Scholarships
The RCC Foundation is Here to Help
Each year, the RCC Foundation awards thousands of dollars to RCC students in need. Since its inception, the RCC Foundation has awarded almost $4 million in student awards to new, continuing and transfer students at RCC.
Support is available through:
- Scholarship Fund
- President’s Student Support Fund (for tuition/fees/books)
- Emergency Fund (for costs other than tuition/fees/books)
Scholarship Fund
The RCC Foundation annually offers over 200 scholarships to new, continuing and transferring students. Recipients are awarded based on various criteria including financial need, demonstrated community service, academic achievement, artistic talent, and even high school attended.
