Not a resident of N.C.? Not a problem!

Richmond Community College is providing a limited number of scholarships to qualified students who live in South Carolina to earn their degree from RichmondCC. The Pee Dee Special is a new scholarship that allows residents living near the S.C./N.C. border to qualify for in-state tuition rates.

Neighboring South Carolina residents can take advantage of our low-cost in-state tuition rates and enroll in the unique programs we have at RichmondCC such as Electric Utility Substation & Relay Technology, Cybersecurity, Mechatronics, Emergency Medical Science, and many others. We also have many programs that are 100 percent online.

RichmondCC’s in-state tuition rate is only $76 per credit hour, and there is no application fee.

To apply for the Pee Dee Special, visit the How To Apply page to begin the application for admissions to RichmondCC. Part of the application process is applying for scholarships. To qualify for the Pee Dee Special, applicants must have graduated high school with an unweighted GPA of 3.0 or higher. A limited number of scholarships will be awarded, so apply early.
