CCRI Offering Summer Session Scholarships

WARWICK, RI — The Community College of Rhode Island is offering scholarships and grants for the upcoming summer session in an effort to make classes more affordable for students. The college says that there is more financial assistance available this summer than ever before.

The "Summer Accelerator" scholarship covers the cost of two courses in the first summer session, which runs from May 20 to June 28.

The second class session runs from July 1 to August 9.

In addition, Pell Grant students can be eligible for financial support all year long thanks to the federal government's introduction of the "year-round Pell" program. Students who receive Pell Grant assistance during the regular academic year could qualify for full coverage of summer tuition expenses as well.

Current CCRI students can log onto MyCCRI to check their eligibility for summer financial aid or contact the financial aid office at 401-825-2468.
