Rotary Foundation Ambassadorial Scholarships
How to apply
Interested applicants must apply for Rotary Foundation
Ambassadorial Scholarships through their local Rotary
club. Because timelines vary, only your local club can
provide specific information about application deadlines.
For 2010-11 awards, club deadlines may be as early as
1 March 2009 or as late as 15 August 2009. Remember
that availability varies by Rotary district. If your
local district is not offering scholarships at this
time, try inquiring next year.
Terms of scholarships
- Scholars are required to attend at least one orientation seminar if offered in their district
or region. Orientation seminars include training on developing and delivering speeches and
presentations.
- Study or training must be undertaken in another country or territory where there are Rotary
clubs. It cannot take place in the country of the sponsor Rotary district.
- Although applicants are asked to list their preferred study locations, the Foundation Trustees
reserve the right to make assignments to any suitable institution to ensure the widest possible
geographical distribution of scholars. Candidates must be flexible in their study institution
assignments.
- Scholars will not be assigned to a city, state, or province where they have lived or studied for
more than six months. As a result, these scholarships are not appropriate for students seeking to
continue their studies at a given university.
- Each scholar is responsible for applying directly to the assigned institution, gaining admission,
obtaining required visas, and making travel arrangements. The scholarship may not be used in
conjunction with a study-abroad program affiliated with a home-country institution.
- Scholars must locate funds to cover all expenses that are not specifically financed by their
scholarships or for which their scholarships are not sufficient. Scholarships will not be
increased to cover spouses, dependents, or anyone other than the scholar.
- Scholars may receive additional funding from other sources during the scholarship period, but
the Foundation will not duplicate funds provided by these sources.
- Depending on tax laws in the home and host countries, the scholarships may be partially or fully
taxable. It is the scholar's responsibility to investigate tax regulations for scholarship
funding.
- Academic-Year and Multi-Year Ambassadorial Scholarships may be used for almost any field of
study but cannot be applied to unsupervised research, medical internships or residencies, or
employment. Scholars planning to pursue medical studies are not permitted to engage in hands-on
procedures or direct-care patient services during the scholarship period.
- Any applicant for Academic-Year or Multi-Year Ambassadorial Scholarships whose native language
is not that of the proposed country of study must submit evidence of the ability to read, write,
and speak the language of that country. Academic-year scholarship candidates must also pass a
language proficiency exam determined by the Foundation.
