Five of the scholarships are for high school seniors entering any accredited college.
One scholarship is available for a high school senior entering St. Charles Community College.
The RC also offers one scholarship for a “non-traditional” student entering St. Charles Community College. A “non-traditional” student is considered to be a high school graduate or possessing a GED that is starting college after a gap between high school and college.
Applicants must be St. Charles County residents and have a 3.0 or better GPA on a 4.0 scale. The application is available under the Scholarship Application tab on this website.
