*IMPORTANT NOTICE: Since the Vedic system of education is without charge, all student-residents shall automatically be placed in RVC's work-study system in lieu of paying $2,100. If any student wishes to make an offering of funds to the RVC, it will be graciously accepted as a tax-deductible voluntary contribution.

The Work-Study System

In lieu of paying for tuition, food and accommodation fees, the RVC work-study or more appropriately, serve-study system enables students to gain work experience and perform devotional service at the RVC campus while continuing their Vedic studies. Supplying additional hands helps keep the RVC functioning smoothly. A student performs devotional service supplementing his Vedic college course-work and is spared the concern of worrying about how to cover expenses. One who applies himself to both the service and the study may receive his education without expenditure.

For most RVC students the normal service period is a three hour period from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM and a two and a half-hour period from 2:30 PM to 5 PM daily. AVC students usually perform service from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM daily and occasionally also from 2:30 PM to 5 PM.
