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. Students may only apply for one of the four scholarships. The four types of scholarships available include:

  • RMHC Scholars

  • RMHC/Asia

  • RMHC/African-American Future Achievers


  • RMHC/HACER

     

General Eligibility Requirements

To apply for an RMHC scholarship, a student must:

  • Be a high school senior
  • Be younger than 21 years old
  • Be eligible to attend a two- or four-year college or university with a full course of study
  • Be a legal U.S. resident
  • Live in a participating RMHC Chapter’s geographic area
  • Submit a complete application and all required documentation by the deadline on the application
