As year end approaches, consider supporting the RCC Scholarship Fund. This June $8,000 was awarded to four worthy students. Over the past eight years, $87,500 has been distributed to 49 kids furthering their education. The fund was established in 2014 by a seed contribution from Tim and Carol Rochford and others initial donors whos names are memorialized on the RCC Scholarship Fund plaque inside the club. We partner with Redlands Community Foundation who facilitate donations, so donors receive a tax deduction, and distribution of scholarship checks. The committees goal is that between annual contributions and a distribution from our endowment with RCF, the fund distribute between $10,000 and $15,000 per year. In the spring, students can apply for scholarship if they are employees of RCC, or dependents of family employed by RCC. Scholarships are to further any educational pursuit, including college, tech, and trade schools. Prior recipients reflect the diversity of the grants from formal four year universities to one young man going to welding school. The scholarship selection committee is made up of eight to ten club members who have interest and experience with the scholarship process. Checks should be made payable to RCF (Redlands Community Foundation) and dropped off at the RCC offices.
