In 2015, RTC will award nine scholarships of $1,000 each. There
will be one scholarship awarded in each of our eight director
districts and one scholarship at large. If we do not receive any
applications for a director district, no scholarship will be awarded
for that district.
RTC’s scholarships will be given based on a random drawing
between those applicants that meet the criteria listed below.
