Presently, the Steering Committee earmarks $5,000 of its revenue each year for scholarships. The close affiliation with St. John Fisher College allows these funds to be granted to individuals through the St. John Fisher College Financial Aid Program.  The purpose of the scholarship is to provide funds to recognize students who exhibit high ethical standards. The determination of which students should receive the scholarships is left to the discretion of the administration of St. John Fisher College.

The Steering Committee anticipates expanding the number of scholarships to be funded through its activities and including other business schools in the Greater Rochester area. As funds permit, the Steering Committee will enlarge the RABEF  Scholarship Program, but all funds will be paid directly to the institutions and the scholarship application process and determination of scholarship recipients will be left to the financial aid programs of the individual educational institutions.
