Macey Bizaillion's journey starts at RLC

Bizaillion (Scheller) was the 2023 Full Ride Scholarship recipient. She came from Waltonville high school and is now a Business major at RLC with plans to transfer to a 4-year university after graduation.

The trajectory of her educational career was changed for the better when she won The Full Ride, which waived all tuition, books, and fees for a full year of education at RLC.

“I was honestly really shocked that I even won,” Bizaillion said. “I am very thankful. Winning the scholarship has helped be able to fully focus on my classes and coursework without having to worry about financial aid. It’s been a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. Starting out at RLC was the best decision for me!”

“Macey is an intelligent and determined student who will go far in whatever area she chooses,” said RLC Professor of Biomedical Sciences Emily Jones. “She comes to class organized and prepared for whatever I may throw at them for the day.  Even though she is currently a Business major, she treats my biology class like she's going into the scientific field.  She is focused on success, whether the class is within her major or not.”

At RLC, we are committed to preparing our students for a bright future. Whether that be transferring to a four-year university or jumping straight into a career. With over 100 degrees and certificates available, the possibilities are endless.

This exciting opportunity is open to all new students and provides a chance to save over $3,300 in tuition costs alone. Current students are not eligible to enter.

Entering is easy! Visit rlc.edu/fullride and fill out a short entry form.

The contest is open until Thursday, March 28, 2024. A winner will be drawn in April.
