Local Scholarships
The AAUW Grants Pass Branch conducts fundraising events each year to raise money for scholarships which are awarded to Rogue Community College students who are residents of Josephine County. These scholarships are given to students pursuing degrees in Science, Technology, Engineering or Math (STEM). We will also award a scholarship to a student majoring in early childhood education or elementary education.
The 2024-2025 scholarship application process is now closed. The 2025-2026 application process will start in February 2025. Please visit the Rogue Community College Foundation website to learn more. The AAUW scholarship selection committee reviews the completed applications and selects the top applicants in the spring.
Five RCC students pursuing STEM degrees will receive scholarships of $2,000 each for the 2024-2025 school year. One student pursuing an education related degree will receive a $2,000 scholarship.
