Financial Aid Form

Who Must Complete This Form?

·  All REU applicants

There is no cost to the student for the REU program. This form is used to determine the financial need of the applicant.

·  Any coursework applicant who would like financial aid

There are a number of scholarships available for coursework study at RMBL. There are several full scholarships that provide room, board, tuition, station fees, and some money for travel. Several other student scholarships provide partial amounts toward fees. All financial aid awards are based on an assessment of financial need. No student should hesitate to apply for our courses solely because they lack financial resources. Please note that students receiving financial aid are expected to maintain a B average in all of their courses. Students will undergo a review mid-way through the semester, and any student not meeting this requirement will be asked to leave.

The information in the form will be kept confidential. Please answer the questions thoroughly. Incomplete answers will significantly delay approval of your application.
