Nominate an Outstanding RCC Student for State & National Recognition

Greetings RCC Faculty, Student Services and Instructional Services,

Look around your classrooms and programs — who is that standout student? The one balancing academic excellence, leadership and service to others? It’s time to give them the recognition they deserve! We’re excited to announce that nominations are open for the 2026–27 All-USA/Coca-Cola Academic Team, New Century Workforce Pathway Scholarship and All-Oregon Academic Team!

Submit your nomination by Oct. 29 using this quick NOMINATION FORM.

All we need is the student’s name and RCC ID (email and phone are helpful but not required).

Nomination categories:

  • Transfer students – planning to attend a four-year school in Fall 2027 (All-USA/Coca-Cola Academic Team)
  • Career and Technical Education students – completing their program and entering the workforce before Fall 2027 (New Century Workforce Pathway Scholarship)

We’re looking for credit-bearing students completing a 2-year degree or certificate who demonstrate:

  • Academic excellence (minimum 3.5 GPA)
  • Leadership and initiative
  • Service to RCC and the community

Not sure if they’re graduating? Just ask them! (We won’t have official reports until spring.)

Two students from each campus and category will be selected to move forward — earning local, state, and national recognition, and eligibility for scholarships up to $500,000 or cash for career tools. All nominees who are selected will also represent RCC on the 2027 All-Oregon Academic Team and receive transfer scholarship opportunities to many Oregon universities. Let’s celebrate the incredible students who make RCC shine!
