• Complete the College Opportunity Fund (COF) which saves $40 per credit for students classified as Colorado residents for tuition purposes.
• Apply for Scholarships.
• Check out Payment Plans  and Payment Deadlines to avoid late fees.

If you are receiving financial aid from another school, you can use your existing FAFSA to apply for financial aid at RRCC. Go to www.fafsa.gov and log in using your FSA ID username and password. To add RRCC to your FAFSA, use our school code: 009543.

If you are taking classes at more than one school during the same semester, you can only receive financial aid at one school at a time. Talk to the Financial Aid Office about a consortium agreement.
