J-term Need-based Travel Scholarship: There are still some funds to be awarded, for which you can apply through the Financial Aid Office (visit http://www.rmc.edu/financial-aid/Finanical%20Aid%20Forms.aspx to download an application form). The priority will be given to freshmen who are eligible. If you have already been notified you are the recipient of a January-term need-based scholarship, that amount should be noted and accounted for in your remaining balance after your first payment has been received. Eligibility: To be eligible to apply, students must (1) have the 2011-2012 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) completed by the priority deadline of April 15th, 2011 and (2) be pre-registered for a J-term 2012 travel course. Application: Please complete Part 1 and 2 of the application form. For Part 2, you will need to attach a brief letter explaining why you need financial assistance to participate in the travel course.
