Scholarships*

We are grateful to all of the people who have generously donated funds to help students attend Rudolf Steiner College.

cholarships are given based solely on need for a small percentage of the total tuition. The College has a limited amount of monies to grant to students enrolled in teacher training programs and every effort is made to assist all the students requiring financial assistance.

Scholarship request requires:

* Scholarships are considered loans that will be forgiven upon graduation. Withdrawing or not graduating from an RSC program will void related scholarships and the full amount of these scholarships must be repaid to the college.
