AMBASSADORIAL SCHOLARSHIPS
The programme supports the vision of The Rotary Foundation to enable Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill and peace by increasing awareness of and respect for cultural differences by sending ambassadors of goodwill to study in another country.

Each scholar is assigned a sponsor and host Rotarian counsellor, who provides orientation and advice in preparing for and completing a successful study period in another country.
Applicants must have completed at least 2 years of university or college course work when the scholarship begins.
All applicants must be citizens of a country in which there is a Rotary club and must apply through a club in their area of permanent residence, or place of full-time study or employment. Rotarians and relations of Rotarians are not eligible.
The scholarship is for one regular year (usually 9 -months) of full-time study at an institution assigned by The Rotary Foundation trustees.
The Academic-Year Scholarship provides a flat grant of US$26 000 which covers a round trip ticket, fees for a normal course load, room and board, and educational supplies. Applicants who request and are assigned to an institution where the costs exceed the grant amount must pay all additional costs.
Applicants must contact a local Rotary club to determine if funding is available, application deadlines and to obtain application forms.
