The Randolph Community College Foundation has awarded over $151,000 in scholarships to 167 students for the 2011-2012 academic year. An additional $2,345 is available to award during the spring semester. These awards include various scholarships funded by individuals, businesses, and organizations, plus Foundation Ambassador/Rotary Scholar scholarships, and High School Achievement scholarships. They are for Curriculum (credit) students pursuing a degree, diploma, or certificate program. The Foundation also provided $41,000 to RCC’s financial aid office for unrestricted scholarships to help Curriculum students who have financial need but do not qualify for traditional financial aid.
Most of the Foundation’s scholarship funds come from endowments that enable the Foundation to award scholarships each year. The principal in these scholarship funds is invested and a portion of the earnings is used to award scholarships. Currently, an investment of $10,000 will fully endow a scholarship to assist RCC students in perpetuity.
The Foundation also accepts designated scholarships in which contributions to the fund are paid out to students. Designated scholarships may be established in any amount.
According to Joyce Wolford, executive director of the RCC Foundation, “The Foundation is fortunate to have generous donors who provide funds for student scholarships. The assistance we provide enables students to achieve their educational goals and make better lives for their families.”
In addition to Curriculum scholarships, the RCC Foundation also provides assistance to Continuing Education (noncredit) students pursuing occupational training and to the College to help start new programs, fund equipment, provide unique opportunities to students, and to fund other endeavors that provide a margin of excellence for RCC’s students.
