Rotary Foundation Scholarships
Application Deadline: varies per Rotary district
— check with your local Rotary Club
The Ambassadorial Scholarships program seeks to further
international understanding and friendly relations among
people of different countries. The program sponsors several
types of scholarships for undergraduate and graduate students
as well as for qualified professionals pursuing vocational
studies. While abroad, scholars serve as ambassadors of
goodwill to the people of the host country and give presentations
about their homelands to Rotary clubs and other groups.
Upon returning home, scholars share with Rotarians and others
the experiences that led to greater understanding of their
host countries.
Academic-Year Ambassadorial Scholarships provide
funding for one academic year of study in another country.
This award is intended to help cover round-trip transportation,
tuition, fees, room and board expenses, and some educational
supplies up to US$25,000 or its equivalent.
Multi-Year Ambassadorial Scholarships are for
either two or three years of degree-oriented study in
another country. A flat grant of approximately US$12,500
or its equivalent is provided per year to be applied toward
the costs of a degree program.
Cultural Ambassadorial Scholarships are for either
three or six months of intensive language study and cultural
immersion in another country.
Individuals interested in applying for an Ambassadorial
Scholarship should contact their local Rotary Club for an
application and to inquire about scholarship availability.
Since scholarship availability is determined by Rotarian
contributions at the local level, not all Rotary clubs will
offer scholarships, nor will all types of scholarships necessarily
be available in a given year. Application deadlines
are set by individual clubs. Detailed information and applications
are available on the Rotary Foundation website at www.rotary.org.
