Randolph Community College issued the following announcement on Jan. 4.
Are you Randolph Community College’s next Presidential Scholar? If you are a high school senior who lives in Randolph County and attends a Randolph County public, private, or home school, apply by Friday, Feb. 18, and find out.
The RCC Foundation will award RCC scholarships to five high school seniors in Randolph County in 2022 through its Presidential Scholars program. The students will be chosen in a competitive process that includes an application packet and interviews. This is the 11th year of the program.
To be considered, students must plan to enroll at RCC in the fall of 2022, have an unweighted GPA of at least 3.0, participate in extracurricular/community activities, and must submit an application packet (application, cover letter, and resumé) by 3 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 18. Students who meet the preliminary requirements will be interviewed virtually on Tuesday, March 15, and Tuesday, March 22, by a committee of RCC community members.
Finalists chosen from the Scholars Day interviews will be invited back for a second interview with RCC President Dr. Robert S. Shackleford Jr.
Students’ academic records and extracurricular/community activities will weigh heavily in the selection of recipients as will the interviews.
RCC Presidential Scholars will receive a $2,500 scholarship for their first year of study ($1,250 for fall and $1,250 for spring) that is renewable for their second year of study. The students will meet regularly with President Shackleford in their first year of enrollment and will serve as RCC Ambassadors during their second year of enrollment.
Students must maintain a GPA of at least 3.0, enroll for at least 12 credit hours each fall and spring semester, and complete meeting requirements to maintain the scholarship for the second year.
