Agency-Funded Students
The Financial Aid Office acts as the liaison between students and the various public and private agencies that offer funding, including:
- Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR)
- Department of Labor and Industries (L&I)
- Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA)
- Washington State Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS)
- Employment Security Department
- Private Insurance
For questions regarding outside funding plans, please contact Vouchers@rtc.edu or call (425) 235-6570.
Use a Tuition Payment Voucher
Students may pay their tuition using an approved third-party employer voucher. Please ensure that the voucher is submitted to Vouchers@rtc.edu prior to the tuition payment deadline and allow 3–5 business days for processing. Include your ctcLink ID.
Students using an Amazon payment request voucher must notify RTC after they submit their request on the Career Choice portal. Please send an email to Vouchers@rtc.edu and include your ctcLink ID.
Once the voucher or payment request is confirmed, a courtesy “tuition hold – 3rd party” will be placed to temporarily hold classes from being dropped (look for a star symbol in the corner on the ctcLink account). You may verify the tuition hold by checking the ctcLink student portal.
Please do not email your voucher to multiple departments; this delays processing time.
The third-party or employer is billed once the add/drop period has passed to ensure all changes are captured. Most third-parties will not pay for classes dropped after the 100% refund deadline. Based on the RTC Student Financial Responsibility Agreement, it is the student's responsibility to pay all tuition and fees even if their planned source of funding does not cover their charges in full. Please be sure to check your student financial account regularly. Important due dates are posted on the Academic Calendar.
If you have any questions about the voucher approval or submission process, feel free to contact our office for assistance. Email Vouchers@rtc.edu or call (425) 235-6570.
