Financial Aid
Financing Your Post-Secondary Plan
Our goal at the RHS CCC is not only to ensure all students have a post-secondary plan they feel confident about, but also give them the tools to support that plan financially:
How do you complete a FAFSA, or MN Dream Act?
Where can you find scholarships?
Where do you begin when you're trying to build a budget?
In this section of the CCC Corner, you'll find information related to each of the forms Financial Aid can take as you move forward on your plan after HS.
Click the option below that feels most relevant to you post-secondary plan. Once you've reviewed the page, set a time to meet with either of your CCC Coordinators to talk through, or complete, your chosen Financial Aid application. Please ensure you've met with either Ms. Amanda or Mr. Eric BEFORE submitting a financial aid application (FAFSA or MN Dream Act) so we can offer guided support.
