Rotary Foundation Ambassadorial Scholarship Applications Available
The Rotary Foundation Ambassadorial Scholarship offers students the opportunity to study for a year in a foreign country with virtually all expenses paid.
To be eligible for this scholarship program, students must have completed at least two years of college-level coursework or equivalent professional experience before commencing their scholarship studies; be proficient in the language of the host country; be a citizen of a country in which there is a Rotary Club; and be fully committed to participating in a program designed to promote cultural cooperation and awareness.
The academic year scholarship grants the recipient $23,000 to cover transportation between home and the study city, some educational supplies, academic fees, and reasonable housing and meals. In return, the scholar is asked to be an ambassador of goodwill by making presentations in the host and sponsoring communities.
