Roane State Community College

Education can change lives, but sometimes, the pathway to college can seem overwhelming, especially for those who must also work, care for their families, or have concerns about financial responsibilities. Scholarships can remove that barrier. The Roane State Foundation's scholarship program, made possible through the generous support of individuals, businesses, and organizations, includes need- and achievement-based scholarships, as well as scholarships designated for students in specific majors or from certain geographic areas in the ten counties and beyond that RSCC serves.
