Welcome to the Richland Community College Foundation Opportunities (Scholarships) information page.

The Spring 2027 Scholarship Application is now open. The Early Consideration Deadline for Spring is November 15, 2026. Applications will continue to be accepted after the Early Consideration Deadline as long as funding remains available.

Eligibility for scholarships cannot be determined until the FAFSA is submitted to Richland and students are registered for classes.

To get started, click on the “SIGN IN” button and log in with your Richland email and password

Complete the General Application. Almost all of our scholarships are auto-match, which means you just need to complete the General Application to be considered for those scholarships. Some scholarships do require additional questions to apply – if you meet the initial eligibility requirements, you will be prompted to apply for those under Recommended Opportunities.

Visit the Foundation Scholarships Canvas Course to find step-by-step instructions to complete the scholarship application in both text and video format.

Before you start:

1. New students: To apply for a scholarship, you must be enrolled in the College and have activated your Richland e-mail account. Make sure your transcript is sent to Richland to be considered for scholarships.

2. It is best not to use Internet Explorer as your browser. Switch to any of the newer browsers, such as Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Apple Safari.

3. Sign in with your Richland email and password.

If selected to receive a scholarship, you will be notified via your Richland Outlook student email account.
