Students across the country work hard to earn top marks; they dream of the college they'll attend and the education they'll receive.

Unfortunately, many of those students can't afford to get the education of their dreams. 

We want these students to reach their full potential. To help them accomplish this, our network of U.S. Chapters, along with RMHC Global, offer scholarships to students in financial need who have demonstrated academic achievement and community involvement.

Scholarships are for students in the United States living in areas where there are participating local Chapters. Students may only apply for one of the four scholarships. The four types of scholarships available include:

  • RMHC/ASIA: Applicant must have at least one parent of Asian/Pacific-Islander heritage
  • RMHC/African American Future Achievers: Applicant must have at least one parent of African American or Black Caribbean heritage
  • RMHC/HACER: Applicant must have at least one parent of Hispanic heritage
  • RMHC Scholars: ALL students can apply regardless of race, color, creed, religion, sexual orientation, gender, disability or national origin.

    • Please note: Asian, African American and Hispanic students are welcome to apply for the RMHC Scholars program provided they have not applied for one of the three scholarship programs listed above.
