RCSRF Scholarship Appl

Application Period Opens December 1, 2025, and Closes March 1, 2026

Eligibility To Apply

The RCSRF has been offering scholarships to SRJC students for over 50 years and welcomes all full-time students meeting the eligibility requirements (see below) to apply.

The Foundation is offering fourteen (14) scholarships ranging in value from $2,500 to $5,000 for the 2026-27 academic year. Applicants are advised to read the following eligibility criteria before completing the application:

1. Be a currently enrolled student at SRJC or be a military veteran enrolled at either SRJC or SSU

2. Have a minimum GPA of 3.0 for all college coursework

3. Plan to enroll full-time (12 units or more) as a university transfer in fall 2026-27 or a continuing

occupational major or military veteran at SRJC in 2026-27

4. Have completed at least one semester (12 or more units) at SRJC by the application deadline

Some of the scholarships require applicants to be in a specified major, such as Business, Engineering, or Health Science, while others are open to all majors. There are also scholarships exclusively for military veterans and students with a verifiable disability. Based on the information submitted in the application, the RCSRF Scholarship Committee will determine which applicants qualify for each scholarship.

Please note that applicants applying for transfer scholarships must meet all the requirements to transfer in the Fall 2026 term. Also, applicants for occupational scholarships must be planning to enter the workforce upon completion of their certificate or associate degree rather than transferring to the university level.
