The RABEF Steering Committee earmarks revenue each year for scholarships. The close affiliation with St. John Fisher College initially allowed those funds to be granted to individuals at St. John Fisher College. The purpose of the scholarship is to provide funds to recognize students who exhibit high ethical standards.

The Steering Committee has in recent years expanded the number of scholarships to includes students at other colleges and, through a partnership with Junior Achievement of Rochester, a high school student. 

“As we grow, it is the hope of Rochester Area Business Ethics Foundation to award a scholarship to students at all of the business schools in the Rochester area,” said RABEF president Alan Ziegler. 


In 2009, the Rochester Area Business Ethics Foundation announced three scholarships:
