RBC PROMISE SCHOLARS
This innovative program is designed to ease transfer from Richard Bland College (RBC) to William & Mary (W&M) for high-ability, Virginia residents who are eligible for a Pell Grant. The Promise Scholars Program will provide W&M courses at RBC, scholarship funds, guaranteed housing, peer-to-peer support, and mentorship to eligible students who have committed to transferring to W&M. One W&M faculty member will travel to RBC’s campus to teach one general education course each semester of the sophomore year, giving students the opportunity to experience W&M while at RBC.
- RBC will recruit incoming freshmen to be provisionally accepted as Promise Scholars candidates. A select 15 rising sophomores who have achieved academic excellence and proven their commitment to leadership and public service will become Promise Scholars. Please email: honors@rbc.edu
