Given the unforeseen spike in fuel prices and anticipated rising costs for ground and air transportation this year, RBS is making a pool of $25,000 in one-time travel assistance funds available for awards of either $100 or $250, depending on financial need, for students accepted into 2026 summer courses. Requests should be submitted via email to rbsprograms@virginia.edu.
