Eligibility

The Rotary Foundation Global Grant Scholarships, with an application deadline in June, offers numerous awards of $30000 each.

Description

The Rotary Foundation funds scholarships with global grants and district grants. This supplement focuses on global grant scholarships. Global grant scholarships fund graduate-level coursework or research for one to four academic years. A key feature of global grants is the partnership between the district or club in the study location (host sponsor) and the district or club in the scholar's home country (international sponsor). Both sponsors must be qualified before they can submit an application. Global grant scholars plan to pursue a career in an area of focus, and their graduate-level educational goals should support this career interest. Pursuing a career in an area of focus means the scholar has a long-term commitment to measurable, sustainable change. Be sure that a candidate's previous work or volunteer experience, academic program, and career plans are strongly aligned with one of the areas of focus. Consider working with universities to identify potential scholars (for example, outstanding graduates of a water engineering program who are seeking funding for graduate study in that field). Universities can also connect local clubs with international students who have been accepted into their graduate programs that are relevant to a particular area of focus. Applications for scholarship candidates who will begin studies in August, September, or October must be submitted to the Foundation by June 30. Please visit the award's website for more information.
