Rotary Foundation International Scholarships
The Rotary Foundation sponsors one of the largest international scholarship programs in the world. Scholars study in a different country, where they serve as unofficial ambassadors of good will. Since 1947, more than 47,000 scholars from 110 countries have received scholarships of more than $476 million through The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International.
About 800 scholarships are awarded annually totaling approximately $26 million. These recipients are from around 70 countries that travel abroad to study in other countries.
These are the options students may consider:
Year Abroad - Most of the applicants apply for the academic year scholarship.
Two Years Abroad – It is also possible to split the same amount of funds up over two years, for the multi-year scholarship.
Cultural Immersion – There are also two cultural versions of the scholarship, six month and nine month cultural immersion scholarships. There are many language options and countries where The Rotary Foundation has set up relationships with specific language & culture immersion programs.
Most of the information and application material is available online.
Students should complete the Ambassadorial Scholarship application completely and submit it along with all required documents to the local sponsoring Rotary Club prior to March 31, 2009. Clubs will then have enough time to interview the students and decide if they will endorse and mail applications to the Rotary District Governor by April 30, 2009.
