RCOBANA has provided donations and scholarships to support students at Royal College over several years, including $6000 in 2004 and $10,000 in 2011. Currently, RCOBANA's endowment supports 5 students with a $185 annual stipend. To continue supporting these 5 students, the endowment needs to be increased by $4600. The document discusses increasing support for current students and selecting new scholarship recipients, with details on 20 candidate students and a proposed way forward involving meetings in December/January with stakeholders.
