RMHC U.S. Scholarships

Students across the country work hard to earn top marks; they dream of the college they'll attend and the education they'll receive.

Unfortunately, many of those students can’t afford to get the education of their dreams. 

We want these students to reach their full potential. To help them accomplish this, our network of U.S. Chapters, along with RMHC Global, offer scholarships to students in financial need who have demonstrated academic achievement and community involvement.

Scholarships are for students in the United States living in areas where there are participating local Chapters. To view a complete list of participating RMHC Chapters and their respective counties please click here. Students may only apply for one of the four scholarships. Students may download one of the applications below or apply online by clicking here.

The four types of scholarships available include:

       RMHC® Scholars

 

       RMHC®/Asia

 

      RMHC®/African-American Future Achievers

 

       RMHC®/HACER®
