RPS 205 Students commit to attend Education Pathway program
03/21/2018 10:18 am
The Rockford Public School District 205 School Board recognized 20 seniors at last night’s board meeting who have committed to participation in the Education Pathway program at Rockford University. The students come from high schools East, Jefferson, Auburn and Guilford.
First introduced in the spring of 2016, Education Pathway students could first began enrolling in the program in the fall of 2017. The Education Pathway program’s goal is to attract RPS 205 students to the teaching profession specifically to stay and work in RPS 205. The program begins in the middle school with seventh and eighth graders discussing a teaching career. It continues in high school with an education pathway, then transitions into a college degree program through Rockford University at a significantly reduced cost. If hired in RPS 205, program graduates can also receive a master’s degree in urban education cost-free from 
Rockford University.
Rockford University congratulates the incoming Education Pathway students and commends them on their decision to pursue a career in education.

A Few Scenarios
Financial aid packages are personalized to each student. The below scenarios should only be used as a guide to understand what options are available to pay for your Rockford University education. When you receive your estimated or official financial aid package, aid based on your academic achievement, FAFSA results, housing plans, and unique situation will be presented.
Bobby
Bobby is a new first-year student from Illinois that is planning to live on campus. He has a 3.0 GPA and an 1120 on his SAT. He received his Student Aid Report (his FAFSA results) and he has an estimated family contribution (EFC) of $13,000. His financial aid package provided the following:
$13,000: Rockford University Scholarship
$5,000: Rockford University Grant
$5,500: Federal Loans
Bobby’s parents applied for the Parent Plus loan and were approved. Bobby also contributed money from his 529 savings plan. Because he plans to work on campus to cover the remaining balance, he set up a payment plan.
Janet
Janet is a new first-year student from Texas with a 3.60 GPA and an 1190 SAT score. She plans to live on campus and her EFC (Estimated Family Contribution) is $0. Her financial aid package included the following:
$14,000: Rockford University Scholarship
$5,920: Pell Grant
$3,000: Rockford University Out-of-State Grant
$2,000: Rockford University Grant
$5,500: Federal Loans
Janet’s parents applied for the Parent Plus loan and were denied. Due to the denial, Janet was offered an additional $4,000 in unsubsidized federal loans. Janet worked all summer to help pay for college and she applied those dollars to her bill. She also took out an additional private loan to cover the balance.
