For the past 5 years, Royal Business Bank has given out over $50,000 in college scholarships to at risk youth to help break the cycle of poverty. The scholarship along with a summer internship gives these students an opportunity learn and to experience a career in banking. In addition, these students will also participate in community activities, reinforcing the importance of giving back to the community.
Community Services
In an effort to support the continuity of learning during COVID when students were in need of education, Royal Business Bank provided over 700 volunteer service hours that assisted students with resumes, providing mock interviews, grading essays and providing virtual workshops on topics such as the importance of saving money, how to apply for college financial aid, and career speakers that talk about the different careers in banking. RBB has also participated in food drives - helping to collect food for over 100 low income families during the COVID crises. We have provided our community partners with essential supplies such as masks and hand sanitizer.
