RCC Student Support Programs
Release the Potential in You
Student Support Programs
You are not your past. You are not your challenges. You are what you can be. Student Support at RCC connects students, like you, with programs that help you focus on the future and the steps you need to get there. These programs include CalWorks, EOPS, DREAMers, and Trio.
We’re With You, To Help You
EOPS Plus Care and NextUp Supplemental Programs
The Extended Opportunity Programs and Services (EOPS) at RCC assists eligible low-income and educationally disadvantaged students with the tools and resources to join, stay and achieve in college. If you’re a single parent and foster child may also qualify for additional resources from the CARE and NextUp EOPS supplemental programs.
Everyone Deserves the Chance to Dream
RCC DREAMers Program
Your dream is attainable. RCC’s DREAMers program helps non-resident and undocumented immigrants realize their dream through the application of state grants, fee waivers and scholarships for qualifying students. The RCC campus is a safe space dedicated to learning, without threat or fear. Get ready to take your next step.
Your Education Advances Your Child’s Expectations
CalWORKS
You are your child’s greatest example. CalWORKs is designed to help families (on assistance) with minor children attend RCC. Our CalWORKs staff are available to assist eligible students with the support services they need to find success in school and in the workplace. It can make a difference in your life, and how your child sees the world.
You Conquer Challenges, We Help
TRIO
There are barriers to success. You can tear them down, even if you’re an educationally disadvantaged student. TRiO provides the academic support, development and guidance you need to succeed. We offer:
- TRiO-Classic for first-generation and low-income students
- TRiO-Rise for Disability Resource Center students
- TRiO-Veterans in partnership with the Veterans Resource Center
There Are No Small Problems
Relief and Assistance Programs
As a student you face a great deal of financial and emotional pressure. Whether this pressure is big or small, you can find support and information — online, on-campus, off-campus, by phone —to help you get through the tough times. Someone has felt just like you, and you can get through it. Address your needs early before they feel like they’re out of control.

You have access (on campus and in Riverside) to confidential checkups, immunizations, low cost prescriptions, crisis intervention, counseling…and that’s just the start.
