The Microgrant Committee is excited to announce this year’s recipients! These grants support innovative, student-centered projects that advance Rogue Community College’s mission and 2025-26 priorities, including stabilizing enrollment, promoting student success, strengthening employee connectedness, fostering systems thinking and building community partnerships.
Five projects were awarded funding this cycle, with up to $10,000 available per project and nearly $36,000 distributed overall to enhance resources and initiatives that directly benefit students and the RCC community.

All funded projects will launch during the 2026 calendar year, with outcomes evaluated for their impact on students and the broader college community. This year’s proposals reflect the creativity, passion and commitment of RCC employees.
