Rotary scholarships are open to any citizen of a country where
there is a Rotary Club.
The Rotary Foundation
1999-2000 Ambassadorial Scholarships
The Rotary Foundation is pleased to announce the availability of
applications for 1999-2000 Ambassadorial Scholarships for study in
another country. The scholarships are intended to further
international understanding between people of different countries,
and are for use at a study institution assigned by the Trustees of
The Rotary Foundation. Scholars are expected to be outstanding
ambassadors of goodwill through appearances before Rotary clubs
and civic organizations in the host country and upon their return
home.
ACADEMIC-YEAR AMBASSADORIAL SCHOLARSHIPS will provide funding for
round-trip transportation, tuition fees, room, board, and books
for one academic year of study, not to exceed US$23,000 or
equivalent. They may be used for undergraduate, graduate, or
vocational study.
MULTI-YEAR AMBASSADORIAL SCHOLARSHIPS are intended to assist in
the cost of two or three years of degree-oriented study by
providing a flat grant of US$11,000 or its equivalent per year.
CULTURAL AMBASSADORIAL SCHOLARSHIPS fund either three or six
months of intensive language study and cultural immersion in a
country where the target language is spoken. Applications will be
considered for study of Arabic, English, French, German, Hebrew,
Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin Chinese, Polish, Portuguese,
Russian, Spanish, Swahili, and Swedish.
ELIGIBILITY: Scholarships are available to individuals who have
completed two years of university work or professional experience
and who are citizens of a country in which there are Rotary clubs.
Spouses and descendents of Rotarians may not apply. The
scholarship is not intended for students who are already studying
abroad.
FOR MORE INFORMATION: Please refer interested applicants to the
Rotary home page at <http://www.rotary.org>, where we have answers
to frequently asked questions about Rotary Scholarships. Students
also have the option of downloading a leaflet and application
directly from our web site. Because scholarship availability is
determined at the local level, however, prospective applicants
must contact their local Rotary club for more information on
availability and deadlines. Please note that not all Rotary
districts will offer scholarships; nor will all types of
scholarships necessarily be available in a given year. Local
application deadlines are set by individual clubs between March
and July 1998 for 1999-2000 awards.
Please share this information with interested students. Specific
questions from NAFSA members regarding eligibility or program
statistics may be directed to:
