Welcome to the RVC Foundation online scholarship opportunities portal!
The instructions below are for the “Last Chance” mini-application period September 8 – 15, 2021

Before you start:

3. Your financial aid file must be complete. That means:
– FAFSA has been filed

Don’t have a scholarship account? Then “Sign Up”
Select “Sign Up” above, and follow the instructions. Use your “s” number as your email address, not your name. 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 scholarship portal. If you don’t see it, check your junk folder!

Already have a scholarship account? Then “Sign In”
Select “Sign In” above and answer the first question on the application. It has been added for this application cycle only. Go through the rest of your application and update where necessary, now that the school year has actually started. Once you’re done, click* “Finish and Submit”*. You can return to your application at any time before the deadline to make changes.

After you have completed your General Application:
1. The system will automatically match you to ALL opportunities where you meet at least the basic criteria.
2. You will not see the scholarships that you match to.

If you are selected to receive a scholarship:
• You will receive a preliminary offer sent to your RVC student email on September 21. “Accept” or “Decline” as instructed.
• You must upload your thank you letter by September 30 to change a preliminary offer into an award.
• If you miss the September 30 deadline, you will not receive the scholarship. No reminders will be sent, so mark your calendar!

Below is a comprehensive list of all active RVC Foundation opportunities, with brief information about the selection criteria. All opportunity criteria are auto-matched to your General Application, and the system adds you to the qualifying pool for each opportunity matched. Note: Qualifying/Matching does not guarantee you will receive a scholarship.
