This is a program for new first-year and transfer students.
The Rockford University Horizon Grant is your key to more affordable tuition in a supportive, welcoming learning environment – and the best part is that you get to stay close to home. You can receive the Rockford University Horizon Grant every year for up to four years. If you are eligible, your tuition will only be $5,000 per year. We don’t want you to choose between a supportive environment and affordability when you can have both!
Am I eligible?
Yes, if you are an Illinois resident and are:
• Admitted to Rockford University
• Map and Pell eligible
If you meet these criteria, then you may qualify for the Rockford University Horizon grant and your Rockford University tuition will be $5,000. With a degree from RU, there’s no limit to what you can do!
New students enrolling in the 2024-2025 school year will keep the same tuition rate for four years.
