Planning and deadline tools
Track scholarships, campus deadlines, graduation goals, GPA, references, and important next steps.
Collegiate Community
College is the next chapter—not the end of our support.
Rising Scholars helps invited college students stay organized, connected, encouraged, and focused on the finish line.
Stay connected.Track what matters.Keep moving forward.
Support through graduation
A practical home base for the college journey.
College students face a different set of deadlines, decisions, and transitions. The Collegiate Community brings those needs into one private portal—and keeps students connected to a village that wants them to persist and graduate.
Scholar Circle community
Connect with other active college scholars, see who attends your school, share updates, and celebrate milestones in a staff-moderated space.
Adult collegiate mentoring
Students who request mentor support may be matched with an approved adult mentor for encouragement, persistence support, and career-minded guidance.
Leadership opportunities
Qualified juniors and seniors can express interest in becoming Campus Connectors who answer college questions from high-school scholars inside a protected, question-only pathway.
Who can participate
Invitation-based—and intentionally broader than scholarship recipients.
As capacity allows, RDCF may invite scholarship recipients, students who previously applied for an RDCF scholarship, and other college students referred or invited directly by the Foundation.
