RBC FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIPS
Through the generous gifts of donors, RBC is able to offer over 60 endowed scholarships to over 150 new and returning students each year. For new students to be considered for all endowed scholarships please complete the FAFSA application here.
Returning students will automatically be renewed the following academic year if the FAFSA is completed by the March 1st priority date and if they continue to meet the criteria. Your application will be matched with data RBC already has access to (i.e. your GPA, financial need etc.) to determine your eligibility for scholarship funds. Scholarship amounts generally range between $500 and $2,000 per year.
New students should submit the application below and the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) beginning October 1, 2023 for the 2024-2025 school year. Applications will be reviewed on a continuous basis and applicants will be notified via email.
Completion of this application does not guarantee that you will be awarded a scholarship. Scholarships are awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis and funding is limited.
Please review a list of our endowed foundation scholarships for the specific criteria. You only need to complete the application once to be considered for all endowed/foundation scholarships. In most cases, students must be a Virginia resident, have at least a 2.0 grade point average, and be involved in extracurricular activities. This scholarship may be renewed for a second year if the recipient continues to meet the criteria.
