Thank you for your interest in our Scholarships.
The scholarship application is CLOSED.
The next application cycle will open in January 2025.
Due to updated federal timelines regarding the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), questions on this application requesting uploads or the Student Aid Index (SAI) number will be handled in the following manner for all scholarships.
RCCF has adjusted its FAFSA requirements this year. Our policy is below. Because we adjusted what could be submitted, we will not extend our due date of March 1 to keep us on track with committees, internal processing, high school honors nights, etc.
- Students may complete the Federal Student Aid Estimator and submit the estimate document when asked for their 2024-25 FAFSA information in the scholarship application form. Federal Student Aid Estimator | Federal Student Aid
- Students may submit the estimate they receive once they have submitted the FAFSA form.
- Students may submit their official Student Aid Index information if they receive it by the March 1 deadline.
PLEASE NOTE:
The student will still need to complete the FAFSA and submit it to us (email it directly to us at info@myrccf.org) at a later date to verify eligibility for financial need scholarships. Students who do not submit their official FAFSA Student Aid Index will be disqualified from receiving an RCCF Scholarship.
