First Generation Scholarship

Overview

Rochester Christian University established the First Generation Scholarship to support students who are the first in their families to pursue higher education. The university is committed to making a Christ-centered education accessible and inclusive, particularly for the significant portion of its student body who identify as first-generation. This award was created to help reduce the financial barrier for those whose parents or guardians have not completed a college degree, aligning with RCU's mission to keep tuition costs competitive and affordable.
