Scholarships

Roxbury Community College (RCC) is pleased to offer scholarships to qualified RCC students. Most scholarships are funded through the Roxbury Community College Foundation (RCCF), made possible by donations from public and private entities. Some scholarships are offered directly to RCC students by local non-profit organizations and charities.

Many RCC students qualify for scholarships. Unlike federal financial aid, scholarships are available to students regardless of immigration or enrollment status. For example, students in Workforce Development programs are not eligible for federal financial aid but can apply for scholarships.

This page will be updated with scholarship application instructions as the information becomes available. Keep an eye out for updates!
