The OAKS Scholarship

Rochester Community and Technical College says the RCTC Foundation offers scholarships funded by donors to help ease the financial burden for students. The scholarships aim to provide scholarship and program support for students who might not otherwise have the resources to pursue higher education.

The RCTC Foundation offers scholarships to incoming, returning, graduating, and transferring RCTC students. The scholarships are based on criteria such as area of study, demographics, financial need, and GPA. The OAKS Scholarship is listed among the scholarships offered through the RCTC Foundation.

Scholarship applications are accepted three times a year, and each award is based on a variety of criteria. The page indicates awards are determined using factors that can include area of study, demographics, financial need, and GPA.

The page states scholarships range from $200 to FULL TUITION and that “most common” amount is $1,000. It also states that scholarships do not need to be repaid. Support duration, what keeps support going, and any obligation afterwards are not stated.
