Scholarship funds will apply to tuition and fees not met by financial aid and other scholarships.

The scholarship is on a first-come, first-served basis, as funds remain available. This is a “last-dollar” scholarship. This means students must be processed through Financial Aid and the RCC Foundation Scholarship programs first, before being awarded funds from the RCC Promise scholarship program.

The first-come, first-served basis time clock begins when all documents are received to commence processing of financial aid, i.e. FAFSA and transcripts.

*Good academic standing is a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 at the end of each semester.
