RSM US Foundation bets on talent from every starting point
Nearly US$1 million in scholarships awarded to students across Canada and the U.S. beginning in the 2026-2027 academic year
TORONTO, ON – (July 16, 2026) – RSM today announced the RSM US Foundation (“Foundation”) will award scholarships to students across Canada and the U.S. and pursuing business, technology or related degrees beginning in the 2026-2027 academic year, totalling nearly US$1 million.
This year’s Power Your Education scholarships represent an expanded investment in the next generation of business and technology talent, broadening access to careers where demand for skilled talent is accelerating. In addition, the Foundation supports scholarships administered through colleges, universities and professional organizations in Canada and the U.S. Together, these scholarships empower confident futures for youth in our communities—one student at a time.
“At RSM, we see education as a powerful force for opportunity and progress,” said Rhonda Klosler, chief operating officer at RSM Canada and RSM US Foundation board member. “By investing in these students, we are helping to build a new generation of leaders who will create meaningful impact in their communities and beyond.”
Through the Foundation, RSM advances its core value of stewardship: acting responsibly in the communities where its people live and work. The Foundation has contributed more than US$58.8 million to organizations and programs, including student scholarship initiatives such as Power Your Education.
