The RBA foundation was founded by a group of 10 like minded friends with a common goal and ambition of fostering learning by aiding students without resources to accomplish their academic aspirations. The founding members are all of Ghanaian heritage with a patriotic zeal and love for the motherland. The purpose of the foundation is to help Ghanaian tertiary students attain a tertiary degree, help International Students arriving in Utah & Idaho settle down, and provide loans to African BYUI students who are financially challenged.
