The OAKS (Overcoming Adversity Keeping Strong) Scholarship Nomination

The OAKS Scholarship pays tribute to high school seniors and first-year RCTC students who have encountered significant obstacles in their lives and despite these struggles, they have become both personally and academically successful.

Students are nominated by a community member (teacher, school counselor, coach, family member, or friend) and will share their stories about overcoming hardship and their hopes for the future. Nominators will complete a brief form. Students will be asked to complete the general online application to apply for the OAKS, as well as other scholarships.

 

Volunteers are needed to review applications, contact sponsors, plan the events, and support recipients. To volunteer, please reach out to foundation@rctc.edu.
