The online scholarship and tuition waiver application opens November 1 for current and prospective Redlands Community College students. New tuition waiver scholarships are available and most range from $250 to $1,000 for each academic year. The Redlands Community College Foundation offers nearly 50 scholarships, including an opportunity for high school juniors and seniors to receive a scholarship that offsets fees associated with concurrent classes.
When we make college both affordable and attainable, we open doors for students who might not have seen higher education as an option,” said Redlands President Jena Marr. “Redlands is committed to investing in our students’ success because when they succeed, our communities thrive.”
The application deadline for scholarships and the priority deadline for tuition waivers is February 1. Tuition waivers are available for freshman and returning students. Applicants for the Freshman Tuition Waiver will also be considered for the Regents and Presidential Scholarships, and with approval from the State Regents for Higher Education, the Regents Scholarship can be transferred to a four-year institution.
The foundation offers a variety of scholarships, including awards designated for graduates of Calumet, Okarche and El Reno; scholarships for specific areas of study; and other more general scholarships.
A list of foundation scholarships and their criteria is available online. While most foundation scholarship applications are due February 1, applications for nursing scholarships are due May 31. Tuition waiver scholarships are awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis to qualified applicants.
High school juniors and seniors are able to take college courses tuition free, but they are still responsible for fees associated with the classes. The Redlands Foundation is providing a scholarship to help cover those fees which could allow these students to take completely free classes. The scholarship application for the Spring 2026 semester is now available, and scholarships will be awarded on a first come, first serve basis. The scholarship does not cover the cost of textbooks or course materials.
