Any coursework applicant who would like financial aid
There are a number of scholarships available for coursework study at RMBL. There are several full scholarships
that provide room, board, tuition, station fees, and some money for travel. Several other student scholarships
provide partial amounts toward fees. All financial aid awards are based on an assessment of financial need. No
student should hesitate to apply for our courses solely because they lack financial resources. Please note that
students receiving financial aid are expected to maintain a B average in all of their courses. Students
will undergo a review mid-way through the semester, and any student not meeting this requirement will
be asked to leave.
The information in the form will be kept confidential. Please answer the questions thoroughly. Incomplete
answers will significantly delay approval of your application.
