We are 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.

In addition to the financial assistance programs detailed above, there are many financial resources available to RCC students. We know that keeping tuition and fees low isn’t enough – there are other expenses, like transportation and childcare, that can quickly add up. Don’t worry. We’re committed to making sure that every student can afford an RCC education.
