Royal Business Bank Scholarship

Name: Royal Business Bank Scholarship

Award Amount: $2,500 per recipient (multiple awards available)

Information And Eligibility:
The Royal Business Bank Scholarship is a need-based and merit-recognized scholarship administered by the Asian Pacific Community Fund (APCF) in partnership with Royal Business Bank. This award is designed to support high school seniors from under-represented and underserved communities who are planning to enroll in an accredited college or university in the United States. The program’s goal is to help reduce financial barriers to higher education by providing meaningful scholarship support for students with strong academic potential, leadership promise, and community engagement.

Each year, APCF awards multiple recipients with a $2,500 scholarship that can be applied toward tuition, required fees, books, supplies, and other education-related expenses. This amount is intended to provide students with critical financial support during their transition from high school to college or as they continue in their early undergraduate years. The Royal Business Bank Scholarship welcomes applicants from diverse academic disciplines and career aspirations, including but not limited to business, science, technology, engineering, arts, and social sciences.

The selection committee reviews applications holistically, considering academic performance, financial need, leadership roles, extracurricular engagement, and the strength of personal essays. Applicants who demonstrate resilience, community involvement, and a clear sense of purpose are often especially competitive. By honoring students who balance academic success with meaningful activities outside the classroom, this scholarship reinforces the importance of well-rounded achievement and future contribution to diverse communities.

Recipients of the Royal Business Bank Scholarship join a broader network of APCF scholars and community supporters, often gaining access to additional resources, mentorship opportunities, and regional recognition. The scholarship also helps build scholarship portfolios that can enhance future academic and professional opportunities.
