RBC Future Launch Scholarship for Black Youth

RBC Future Launch Scholarship for Black Youth

Diversity and inclusion are core values that guide, unite and inspire day-to-day actions and decision-making at RBC. As part of our efforts to uphold these values, the RBC Foundation has committed to invest $50 million from 2019 to 2025 through RBC Future Launch to create meaningful and transformative pathways to prosperity for BIPOC youth with investments in areas such as skills development and mentoring. The RBC Future Launch Scholarship for Black Youth is a new and innovative program to encourage students to dream big, complete high school, and graduate from postsecondary studies. The objective of the program is to empower and enable Black youth to achieve their goals through hard work, mentorship, and support from RBC and our community partners. RBC works in partnership with community organizations that have close ties to Black youth. Our community partners nominate Black students in grades 10, 11, and 12, or early in their postsecondary studies, who can benefit from the funding and support of the program.
