A chapter accredited as a Residential Learning Community is eligible to receive a 5% liability insurance discount each year. Residential Learning Communities must complete an RLC survey in the spring to receive this insurance rebate.

Although any chapter can establish a tax-deductible account with the Sigma Phi Epsilon Educational Foundation to support educational endeavors, a Residential Learning Community chapter has the opportunity to apply for grant funding to support educational facility improvements. Many factors, including the scope of the project, available funding, and chapter performance, are taken into consideration for submissions. Eligibility does not equal automatic grant funding.
