Funding
 

Students who are enrolled in, or accepted for enrollment in, a comprehensive transition and postsecondary (CTP) program may be eligible for certain types of federal financial aid.  Therefore, students who register for non-core coursework may complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for consideration of some types of federal financial aid.  For more information on applying for financial aid, refer to the Applying for Financial Aid document.

Although core coursework is not eligible for financial aid, there are a limited number of scholarships available through the Rock Valley College Foundation from which students can apply.  For more information on applying for a scholarship, refer to the Scholarships webpage.
