College Admissions Day set for July 27 at RCC
Robeson Community College will be hosting 2nd College Admissions Day Event on Wednesday, July 27 from 8:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. in the Student Center located in Building 13.
“College Admissions Day is a one-stop shop in which new students can complete everything necessary to enroll, all in one day and in one place,” said RCC President Melissa Singler. “It’s going to be a great day and I am looking forward to meeting our students that will be attending in the fall, especially our high school graduates from the Class of 2022.”
A special invitation has been sent out to all 2022 high school graduates of the Public Schools of Robeson County. Recent graduates will have a chance to learn more about the Longleaf Commitment Grant during a luncheon at 12pm. Students will need to bring their invitation for entry. The first 200 PSRC 2022 high school graduates to arrive will receive a free lunch from Firehouse Subs. The Longleaf Commitment Grant guarantees $700 – $2800 per year in tuition to 2022 graduates for two years if they enroll in Fall 2022, full-time, at Robeson Community College. Award amounts are based on the FAFSA.
Assistance will be available for all individuals who need help to complete the RCC Application or with applying for financial aid. Once the application process is completed, students will then be able to register for classes.
Campus tours will be available on the top of every hour, allowing students to become familiar with the campus and learn more about the college.
Students are urged to inquire to learn more about the free tuition opportunities that are available for the Fall 2022 semester through federal, state, and other funding resources. Students must apply to determine eligibility, but the process is as easy as 1, 2, 3.
