Jane Addams believed in helping people help themselves, and so do we. That’s why 99% of our students receive financial aid. Rockford College awards financial aid on the basis of financial need and academic achievement. Every year we award more than $6 million to students who make a difference - students like you. We want to help you – then you’ll be able to help others.
