Applications Now Open for 2024-2025 Endowed Scholarships
The RMC Committee on Admissions, Recruitment, and Scholarships (CARS) is pleased to announce that it is soliciting applications for the following scholarships for the 2024-2025 academic year. Financial need will be a significant consideration when determining award recipients. All applications are due by 5 p.m. on Friday, April 12. If, due to limited computer and/or internet access, you need additional assistance with the application, please contact Dr. Laura Wen (laurawen@rmc.edu), CARS Chair. Due to a delay in federal FAFSA reports, we will update the scholarship amounts when those come in.

To apply: To apply for one or more of these scholarships, log into My Macon Web and go to Student > Forms > Scholarship Application Forms to find the applications. Select the link for the application you would like to complete. Each application requires two references from the RMC community, and the Simpson-Cottrell application requires that one of the references is your research advisor. We recommend working on the application essays on your own machine first, so they are not accidentally lost, and contacting your references before submitting the application. Your referees will receive a link to submit their references once you submit your application. Please submit your application before the deadline (5 p.m. on Friday, April 12th) so your referees have enough time to submit their references.
