Dear Rockhurst Students –

We are now prepared to continue receiving applications for the Phase II – RUCare$ grants. Please click here to apply.

Because of the high number of applications we have received so far (and anticipate receiving) and the amount of time it will take to review all applications, we are establishing a grant application deadline of Tuesday, June 30. Please allow up to 30 days for your application to be reviewed and for grants to be awarded and received via check. All applicants will be notified, whether or not their grant request is awarded.

Please keep in mind that due to limited available funding, the maximum grant award is $500 and awards are not guaranteed. Additionally, please recall that if you are a dual-enrolled student with either RCN or KCU, then you are not eligible for RU CARES Act grants, but should inquire at RCN or KCU for eligibility through their CARES grant program.
