Dear Graduating RCS High School Senior,

First and foremost, CONGRATULATIONS on your journey thus far!

The annual Rochester Community Schools (RCS) Foundation Scholarship Program was created to provide scholarships to any eligible RCS high school senior wanting to continue their education after high school.

Scholarships are based on criteria developed by the donors which may include academic promise; extracurricular activities; community service; musical, artistic and dramatic talent; work ethic and leadership. Some awards may consider financial need. Scholarship awards are based on the funds available and may not be awarded every year.

The deadline to submit a completed scholarship packet for the 2022-2023 school year has been extended to February 5, 2023.
