LOAN PROGRAMS

Although many of you will complete your RRCC college program debt free, we have a variety of loan programs available. It is our policy not to award loans without a personal request from the student. First time borrowers must complete loan entrance counseling before receiving their first disbursement. All students with loans must attend an exit interview prior to leaving RRCC.

Loans Include:
Federal Subsidized Stafford
Federal Unsubsidized Stafford
