The Rotary Foundation's oldest and best-known program is
Ambassadorial Scholarships, established in 1947. Since that
time, more than 30,000 men and women from 100 nations have
studied abroad under its auspices. Today, the Ambassadorial
Scholarships Program of The Rotary Foundation is the world's
largest privately funded international scholarships program.
These scholarships are for studies in countries chosen by the applicants, approved by the Rotary Foundation.
Applicants must live, study or work in whatever town or area they are applying in, and must have completed at least two
years of college course work. Rotarians and their family members are not eligible.
Transportation, tuition, fees, room & board (maximum of $26,000) are covered.
Full academic year scholarships are available.
Selected students serve as ambassadors of goodwill throughout the world.
Ambassadors help Rotary increase awareness of and respect for the cultural differences
while living and studying in another country and support Rotary's mission of international
understanding.
Anecdotes
"I'd look at a Rotary Ambassadorial if she is poised and personable, although it is sort of a pain for a senior--we put our juniors
in the competition because it takes Rotary so long (more than a year) after the deadline." College advisor quote.
