RCTC is an exceptional value, but even affordable schools can be out of reach for some students. Scholarships help to ease the financial burden for most students and do not need to be repaid.
Thanks to our generous donors, the RCTC Foundation will offer over $500,000 in scholarships. Scholarships help pay for tuition, textbooks, and class fees, and each award is based on a variety of criteria such as area of study, demographics, financial need, GPA, etc. Scholarship applications are accepted three times a year.
The RCTC Foundation offers a variety of scholarships to incoming, returning, and graduating and transferring RCTC students. All scholarships offered through the RCTC Foundation are made possible by generous donors supporting the effort to provide scholarship and program support to students who might not otherwise have the resources to pursue higher education. Most RCTC students juggle multiple responsibilities — balancing work, family, and education. Especially in difficult times, a scholarship can make all the difference.
More than 300 students will receive scholarships this year! Scholarships range from $200 to FULL TUITION with $1,000 being the most common award!
