Posted by Dan V. Clark, Commerce City, danvclark@gmail.com
Applicants For World Peace Fellowships Being Sought
The Rotary Foundation explains, “Candidates for Rotary World Peace Fellowships should have proven leadership abilities in addition to the academic, volunteer and at least three years professional experience that demonstrates a commitment to peace and conflict resolution.” There are two separate programs available.
1) Up to 60 applicants are selected annually for a two year Master’s Degree Program at one of the six Rotary Centers for International Studies. Selected USA scholars may not attend USA universities.
2) Up to 25 applicants are selected to study at the Rotary Center - Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, Thailand for one three month program beginning in either January or July.
Successful applicants will be currently employed in the field of peace and conflict resolution and upon completion will receive a professional development certificate. Employers of the applicants will be asked to contribute 10% of the fellowship cost to demonstrate “buy-in” to the importance of the program for them.
Please note that each of these Rotary World Peace Fellowships is separate and distinct from District 5450 Ambassadorial Scholarships.
Clubs need to conduct their interviews and make selections so that endorsed applications are received at the address below no later than MAY 15, 2015 (NOT MAY 31 as indicated on the TRF web site).
