Veteran Services
The Veterans Coordinator at Rend Lake College is the liason between the college and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. This coordinator helps student veterans submit applications for military benefits and other financial aid, and officially certifies their enrollment to ensure they get timely payments.

Financial Aid
Congratulations on your decision to attend Rend Lake College. Higher education is a valuable accomplishment and choosing a community college gives you more bang for your educational buck. Take factors like living at home, or working a job while enrolled in a flexible schedule; and pair them with federal aid, scholarships and grants. Many community college students can nearly attend for free.
RLC Financial Aid is here to help you figure out how you are going to pay for it.
Financial aid comes in the form of grants, scholarships, academic awards, employment and loans. Each type of aid is available at RLC. For students who are eligible, the Financial Aid Office will defer payment of tuition, fees, books and educational supplies up to the amount of the scholarship, academic award or grant they are qualified to receive. Financial aid not used to cover direct costs will be issued to the student through BankMobile approximately the tenth week of the semester.
Veterans Services are available from staff in the Financial Aid Office.
