Important College and Financial Aid Information

ATTENTION RHS STUDENTS…

  • Registration is open for current high school seniors starting college in FALL 2022.  By participating in SOAR and completing steps to enrollment, students will qualify for FREE Tuition for their 1st year in college and have access to early registration to classes.  

  • All seniors should apply for financial aid!
    *If you think you / your student may not qualify for financial aid, it is still worth submitting the application.  By doing so, a student may be able to get their first year free at community college (no matter the household income) and/or qualify for low interest / no interest loans or work study!
