Your District Scholarship Committee has been busy. Last fall we awarded the District Ambassadorial Scholarship of $15,000 for post-graduate studies to Lacye Groening, sponsored by the West Olympia District Club. Ms. Groening is pursuing a Masters of World Health at the University of Geneva, Switzerland. Because of her outstanding credentials the District has nominated her for a Global Grant Scholarship of $30,000. We worked closely with Ms. Groening to submit her application, which is pending. We are always looking for stellar applicants for these Rotary scholarships. Applications for the Ambassadorial scholarship are due September 15th for the following academic year. More information is on the District website under “Scholarships.” More information on Global Grant Scholarships can be found at rotary.org.

Rotary International also offers its prestigious Peace Fellow scholarship for advanced studies at six university Peace Centers around the world. Last year Rotary International honored us by asking us to review the Peace Fellowship application of a Syrian woman whose county is in turmoil. Rotary International awarded her the scholarship. This year we reviewed the application of a Chinese woman and have endorsed her Peace Fellowship application, which is pending. More information on Peace Fellow scholarships can be found at rotary.org.
