Applying for Financial Aid at RCC
- Complete the RCC admissions process at this link. (You must apply for admission before receiving financial aid!)
- Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). RCC’s school code is 002958.
- When the Financial Aid Office receives a copy of your FAFSA from the U.S. Department of Education, a letter may be sent to you requesting any additional information we need to process your file. Once all documents are received, your financial aid file will be reviewed for a possible award.
- If it is determined that you are eligible for aid, you will receive a financial aid award letter along with several other important documents about your financial aid package. Carefully read all materials!
- Follow up with the Financial Aid Office if you have any questions.
