The Hope Scholarship at Rhode Island College provides eligible RI students with a four-year degree, two years tuition-free. No scholarship application is required — we’ll automatically review your academic records before your junior year at RIC. Get a high-quality bachelor’s degree for less than $25,000.
Thanks to donor generosity, we offer scholarships to both incoming and current students. Many are alumni-funded, merit- or need-based, with some reserved for children and grandchildren of RIC alumni. Submit a single application, and our scholarship tool will automatically match you to every scholarship for which you qualify.
Many academic departments offer scholarships to students excelling in their majors, and merit-based aid is also available for students planning to study abroad.
Entering freshmen with outstanding academic achievement may be invited to join the College Honors Program – offering specific scholarship opportunities.
In addition to RIC's scholarship offerings, there are many other external scholarships for incoming and current students to pursue.
