The RMHC® U.S. Scholarship Program

Ronald McDonald House Charities® U.S. Scholarship Program provides financial assistance to eligible graduating high school seniors who face limited access to educational and career opportunities. Scholarships are awarded by local Chapters of Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC), with support from RMHC Global and McDonald's Corporation. Students are selected and awards are distributed based on demonstrated academic achievement, financial need and community involvement. 

Funding for the scholarship program is provided by local McDonald's Restaurants through their donation box funds and a matching fund from RMHC Global. Since its inception in 2002, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Greater Chattanooga has awarded more than $300,000 to local high schools' seniors; $1,000 per student.

How to Apply:

Scholarship applications are available beginning early November of an academic school year. Graduating high school seniors may apply for only one of the four scholarships.
