There is a Dual Enrollment Grant (see Getting Started). Your local American Job Center may provide some assistance to students who qualify with financial needs. Federal financial aid is only available after high school graduation.
Some students opt to take more than one course per semester. These students should make sure all fees are paid on time. Payment will be accepted by cash, personal check, money order, or by VISA, American Express or MasterCard credit or debit card at any RSCC site or can be mailed to the Roane County Campus.
