Ambassadorial Scholarships 2011/12-International Applicants-USA
Posted by sakshi on December 31, 2009
The Roatary Foundation offers The Roatary International Ambassadorial Scholarships to International Applicants for the year 2011/12
Ambassadorial Scholarships, The Rotary Foundation’s oldest and best-known program, was founded in 1947. Since then, nearly 38,000 men and women from about 100 nations have studied abroad under its auspices. Today it is the world’s largest privately funded international scholarships program. Nearly 800 scholarships were awarded for study in 2005-06. Through grants totaling approximately US$500 million, recipients from about 70 countries studied in more than 70 nations.
Types of scholarships:
- Academic-Year Ambassadorial Scholarships provide a flat grant of US$26,000 for one academic year of study in another country. These awards are intended to help defray costs associated with round-trip transportation, tuition and other fees, room and board, and some educational supplies.
- Some Rotary districts may not offer scholarships. Applicants must check with their local club about availability. Grants are provided in U.S. dollars or their international equivalent.
- There are many ways for districts to support the Ambassadorial Scholarships program besides financing awards through the District Designated Fund (DDF). Endowed, named, and donated scholarships differ from regular DDF-funded Ambassadorial Scholarships because they are financed by an alternate source, and recipients often must comply with special study or location restrictions determined by the donor or donating district. Another option is contributing to the Rotary Centers for International Studies in peace and conflict resolution.
