Your Journey and the Role of Scholarships.
 

Among the many virtues of Raritan Valley Community College are a vibrant student population, an engaged faculty and staff, and a generous community committed to supporting the journeys of our students. Thanks to a multitude of corporations, local businesses, and individual donors, the RVCC Foundation is able to award over $400,000 in scholarships each year to qualifying students. No matter where you are on your educational pathway and regardless of your field of study, you’ll want to explore the wide range of scholarships available to registered RVCC students. While we cannot accommodate every student, we do seek to spread our scholarship resources to benefit as many applicants as we can.

If you’re a registered student and want to find out more, please visit: https://raritanval.awardspring.com/. You’ll not only be able to learn about our current scholarship program, you’ll also be able to apply easily—with a single application—from the same portal.

Celebrating Students and Generosity.
