Rhode Island Student Scholarship

The Rhode Island Association of Admission Officers has a long tradition of supporting the academic aspirations of students in Rhode Island. One of the ways we achieve this is by offering multiple $500 scholarships. To be eligible students must have attended and graduated from a Rhode Island high school or received a Rhode Island GED and must be accepted with plans to enroll as a degree or certificate candidate student at any RIAAO member institution. We offer the scholarship to students who are enrolling as a first year student, a transfer student, or a non-traditional student. 

Taking applications now till June 1.

Decisions will be communicated to the award recipients in July. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to reach out to the Scholarship Committee Chair Katie Burdick (kburdick@providence.edu) with any questions.
