New to the RVC Foundation Award Portal? Select “Sign Up” and follow the instructions. Use your “s” number as your email address, not your name.

If you don’t see it, check your junk folder!
Already have an account? Then select “Sign In” and log into your account. If you have forgotten your password, click Trouble signing in? at the bottom, left, and follow the instructions. NOTE: You will receive a confirmation email to your student email account. You have 6 hours to click the link and confirm. Only then can you sign in to the portal. If you don’t see it, check your junk folder!
Begin the General Application. You do not have to complete it all at once. Click “Save and Continue” to close out of your application and return at a later time. Remember to come back! You must click “Finish and Submit” for your application to be counted. All due dates are listed above and on the RVC Foundation Scholarship webpage. Check back often in case something changes!
Engineering and health career applicants, an additional application will be required. Choose Engineering, Health Careers, Nursing, Dental Hygiene, or Respiratory Therapy as your major to activate the application. Answer the questions and upload any required information, then click “Finish and Submit” when you’re done.
After you have completed your General Application, the system will automatically match you to ALL opportunities where you meet at least the basic criteria. You will not see the opportunities that you match to. The system will add you to the qualifying pool for each opportunity matched. Note: Qualifying/Matching does not guarantee you will receive a scholarship. This is where your Personal and Educational Statements come into play. All things being equal (GPA, class status, program), your statements could be the deciding factor. Write from the heart.
Preliminary offers will be emailed to your RVC student email account, assigning you a few post-acceptance tasks. Once you answer a couple of questions and upload your thank you letter to the donor of your award, your tasks are complete. Final award notices will be emailed after all post acceptance tasks are done.
Anytime you have any questions regarding the scholarship award system, please reach out to the RVC Foundation at (815) 921-4500 or RVC-Foundation@rockvalleycollege.edu.
