About the Rotary Foundation Awards
Rotary’s educational programs promote international understanding by bringing together people from different countries and cultures. Scholarships enable promising students to become leaders and experts in fields focused on sustainable change.
District Grants accommodate a variety of scholarship plans. They can be used to sponsor undergraduate or graduate students studying any subject. They can be used for domestic or international study and can cover any length of time.
Global Grants can fund scholarships for graduate students planning careers in fields that support Rotary’s efforts to promote peace, fight disease, provide clean water, save mothers and children, support education and grow local economies. Students study abroad in degree programs ranging from one to four years.
