Apply for 2025-26 RCCD Foundation Scholarships though January 2025
Annual Scholarship Opportunities
Apply for scholarships to ease the financial burden of attending college.
Each year, the Riverside Community College District (RCCD) Foundation offers scholarships for continuing and transferring students. You simply need to complete one online application that will match your information against a database of over 250 possible scholarship awards.
To be considered, apply and go through the eligibility and selection process. Keep in mind that you will need to solicit at least two letters of recommendation by providing the contact information of two professors, so leave enough time for them to complete those tasks in the scholarship portal.
The application period for 2025-26 scholarships is October 14, 2024 – January 17, 2025.
