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 2023-2024 scholarship application process is now closed. The 2024-2025 application process will start in February 2024. 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.
Six RCC students will receive scholarships of $2,000 each for the 2023-2024 school year.
