District 5910 Rotary Ambassadorial Global Grant Scholarships will be used to fund one year of post-baccalaureate study at a recognized university in a non-U.S. country in a study discipline that supports the Object of Rotary and the Mission of The Rotary Foundation (see www.rotary.org).
Applicant’s planned studies must lead to sustainable, high-impact outcomes in one of the following six Areas of Focus:
- Peace and conflict prevention/resolution;
- Disease prevention and treatment;
- Water and sanitation;
- Maternal and child health;
- Basic education and literacy; and/or
- Economic and community development
The application form can be found through the links in the left column in both Word and PDF format for ease of use at: https://www.rotary5910.org/sitepage/global-grant-scholarship-program. They are also attached to this email.
While school acceptance is not required for the District Application, it is required for RI submission. Applicants are highly encouraged to have researched their choice school, verify that they meet all qualifications and communicate with the school their intent to at least learn of any hurdles, and open communication/get conditional approval. If pending admission in writing has been received, please include that in the application.
Additionally, if you or someone in your club is interested in serving on this committee, in the future, please let me know. While a majority of the workload is complete for this application cycle, I would like to expand the committee and help promote this opportunity to more university students in our district next year.
If you have any questions, please email me at: rebekah.d.maxwell@gmail.com Please include Global Grant Scholarship in the subject line.
Thank you,
