Invest in Your Future

Hundreds of students each year choose to start their future at Rock Valley College because of the incredible value RVC offers. Students attending RVC full-time will typically pay less than $4,300 in tuition during the two years they're enrolled. That's less than the cost of one year's tuition at a state university.

Nearly half of our students receive some financial assistance in the form of grants, scholarships, loans, and student employment programs. Several local organizations and individuals offer private scholarships. The amounts of awards vary and can help defray the costs of your courses, books, and living expenses.

Scholarships

You may need to obtain a separate application form for any outside scholarship for which you wish to apply. Keep in mind that each scholarship program has its own application procedures and deadlines.

Rock Valley College offers funding assistance provided by private donors, the RVC Foundation, and other state and community sources. New and current full-time and part-time students are encouraged to apply. RVC Foundation scholarship applications must be completed online, on the scholarships page of the Rock Valley College website. The application for the RVC Foundation Scholarships must be submitted by the due date.

Veterans Benefits

RVC is approved for federal and state veteran educational benefits. Contact the Veterans Services Office at 815-921-4163 for information and applications. Also, visit our Veteran's Benefits page.

Our financial aid staff is available to help you complete the application materials. Students may either walk in or make an appointment.

Financial Aid and Veterans Office hours are:
