It is each recipients’ responsibility to notify RCC Foundation of any email changes from year to year so renewal applications go out on a timely basis.
- *Note: There is an additional and separate Cogswell scholarship program with awards given specifically for attendance at RCC. These scholarships are available through the RCC Foundation.
