 I.     ROTARY  INTERNATIONAL SCHOLARSHIPS

         Rotary International offers two types of Scholarships, namely PEACE FELLOWSHIPS and PACKAGED GRANTS.

     PEACE FELLOWSHIPS

        Each year, Rotary selects individuals from around the world to receive fully funded academic fellowships at one of our peace centers.

        types of peace fellowships are available.

       MASTER'S DEGREE

        Rotary offers master’s degree fellowships at premier universities in fields related to peace and conflict resolution and prevention.
        Programs last 15­–24 months and require a practical internship of 2–3 months during the academic break. Each year Rotary awards up to
        50 master’s fellowships from these institutions:

        For those with more extensive experience in peace-related fields, Rotary offers a 3-month program in peace and conflict resolution
        at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, Thailand. This program incorporates 2–3 weeks of field study. Rotary awards up to 50
        certificates each year.

        As part of Rotary International’s new Grants model, Districts are empowered to make decisions about 
        investing District funds so they do the most good in communities near and far.  This includes the ability to fund
        Scholarships as well as Community Projects. 

For 2014-2015, District 7430 leadership has decided to focus on Community Projects and has not approved any District funds for Scholarships.

        There are ideas being explored and models developed for the future.  Please check back periodically for
        updates to this factsheet as we intend to include the latest information for you. 

        Please feel free to send comments and suggestions directly, or through your Rotary Club Leaders and Boards. 
        If your Rotary Club would like to seek District Partnership for a Scholarship in the future, please follow the
        District Grant Procedures.
