Scholarships & funding angle

The majority of RMU students apply for financial aid; applicants should file the FAFSA as the first step. RMU offers a Corporate Discount Program and information on company reimbursement through Student Financial Services. A dedicated financial aid counselor and RMU resources can assist with funding questions.
