HOW TO I APPLY FIRST?
M.J. FOSTER PROMISE PROGRAM APPLICATION AND CERTIFICATION FORM
AM I ENROLLED IN AN ELIGIBLE PROGRAM?
Students must be enrolled in one of the following RPCC Programs to participate. Please be sure your eligible major/program is on file with the Registrar's Office.
HOW DOES THE PROGRAM WORKS?
Eligible students can participate in the M.J. Foster Promise Program, a financial aid award given on a first-come, first-served basis. Promise funds can be used over a three-year period to cover tuition and fees. The award amount is a maximum of $3,200 per award year with a lifetime maximum benefit of $6,400.
Promise funds are a “first dollar” award for 1st time recipients. This means that “first dollar” can ONLY be used for the very 1st semester of eligibility. Any subsequent semesters of enrollment will be a “Last Dollar” award (see below).
Any continuing recipients of the Promise Award will be considered “last dollar”, meaning applicants who have received an initial semester of award must complete the FAFSA PRIOR to the start of their 2nd semester to determine eligibility for other sources of federal aid or demonstrate eligibility for federal aid.
