What is the Rotary scholarship program?

The scholarship program is an endeavor by The Rotary Foundation to promote

international understanding and goodwill by funding scholars to

study in foreign countries.

How is the program funded?

►The program is funded by donations of Rotarians to The Rotary Foundation.

►After three years, one-half of those contributions are returned to the donating District for allocation among the District’s DDF (district designated funds).

►The District then decides how to use the funds: scholarships, GSE, humanitarian grants, and so forth.

Peace Fellowships

►D5020 does not make Peace Fellow awards, only nominations.

►D5020 may nominate two candidates, one from Canada and one from the US, but RI will make the final selections from the international candidate pool.

►We expect at least 60 Peace Fellows will be selected.

What is the application process?

►Clubs begin to solicit applications in the fall.

►Club interviews should occur no later than February.

►Completed applications for all candidates are due to be received by the Scholarship Committee by April 1, 2009.

►Interviews will occur in Victoria, BC, on April 30-May 2, 2009.

What are the Club’s non-financial responsibilities?

► To solicit and to select candidates the Club wishes to sponsor.

► To assist the candidate in completing the application process and preparing for the District interviews.

► If the candidate wins an award, to serve as the scholar’s Club Sponsor.

► To assist the candidate in arranging required pre- and post-study presentations.

► To maintain contact with the Scholar and the Host Sponsor while the Scholar is abroad.

► To help arrange appropriate publicity.

What is the Club’s financial responsibility to the Scholar?

►NONE. Some Clubs provide travel assistance to the District interviews or, for winners, to the Outbound Scholar Orientation.

►For winners, Club banners/pennants and “Rotary” items (e.g., wind breaker or book bag) as “identifiers.”

►Travel assistance for winners to District Conference and DLTA
