Applications are currently being accepted

I am currently accepting applications for the Opportunity Grant for Fall - Spring of 2010-2011. Grants will be awarded based on availability of funds. We anticipate that need for the grant will greatly exceed the amount of funds available.

If nothing ever changed, there'd be no butterflies.

In the Fall quarter, here are some of the changes that will undoubtly effect many of you.

-Tuition costs will go up by 7%. For example a 5 cr. Biology class in 2009- 2010 cost $387.15 , it will cost $416.80 this coming school year. This raise in tuition will mean the Opportunity Grant will most likely help less students as it will not cost more per student.

-Additional fees (Clinical fee, admission fee, ect.)

-Basic Food Employment Training program (BFET) may cease on the RTC campus or be greatly reduced.

Please be mindful that these changes were only implemented after many meetings/ discussions and countless hours of analyzation.
