Romeoville (ILL.) — Doors will open for the first time at the new Romeoville/Joliet campus of Rasmussen College in just three months, and the College is preparing for its opening by giving back to the community with two $10,000 scholarships.

The It’s My Time Scholarship is designed to give two hopeful students help in achieving their goals for continuing education and for securing a rewarding, successful career.

"Education is more important today, in this economy, than ever," Romeoville/Joliet Campus Director Amy King said. "Data continues to show that people with a college degree have more stability in their jobs and earn more money than those without. These It’s My Time Scholarships can help two people who may have otherwise been unable to attend college in funding their education to fulfill their ambitions."

Interested applicants should visit http://www.rasmussen.edu/rjscholarship in order to apply for the scholarship. The application deadline is October 1, 2009. The two scholarship recipients will be able to start school on January 1, 2010.

Students are now enrolling for online classes at the Romeoville/Joliet college campus. The college is offering degrees in Allied Health, Business, Criminal Justice, Education, and Technology and Design.

The new campus will be located at 1400 West Normantown in Romeoville. Anyone interested in enrolling at the campus can call (866) 967-7045.

Rasmussen College has 17 campuses with two other campuses in Illinois—Aurora and Rockford. The College recently announced a third Chicagoland campus to be opened in Orland Park in 2010.

Rasmussen College is regionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, a member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
