Scholarship Information and Award Criteria


As part of the application process each applicant must determine which scholarships they are eligible for and what they want to apply for.  All of the possible scholarships are listed below; each of these are a link to information about the named scholarships and what the criteria is to be able to be awarded each individual scholarship.

After reviewing each of the scholarships an applicant will need to note on the first page of the RACF Scholarship Application form which scholarships they are applying for.  Please take the time to read the information provided below for the scholarships you may be interested. 

As noted on most of the information sheets, the dollar amount awarded each year can be affected by each scholarship account balance at the time of the award notification.   All scholarships awarded are paid directly to the college, university or secondary education program where the student attends.   Questions regarding the application process may be directed to any RACF Board member.

Rudyard High School graduating seniors should also note that there are several scholarships awarded locally that are not administered by the RACF and information on these scholarships can be obtained from the RHS guidance counselor.
