RBS Achievers of the Year
The program began in 2004 when The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) in conjunction with Charter One and Citizens Bank created the RBS Achievers of the Year Awards to recognize outstanding participants of The First Tee and to help fund their ongoing education after high school (college, community college, vocational school, etc.). The program rewards deserving students for accomplishments in their daily lives while overcoming difficult circumstances. This scholarship is not based on academic achievements or exceptional golf skills. The goal of the award program is to positively impact youth by rewarding participants for exemplifying one or more of The First Tee Nine Core Values™.
