District 5950 has international scholarship opportunities for people wishing to pursue a master’s degree in one of Rotary’s six major areas of focus:
- Promoting peace
- Fighting disease
- Providing clean water
- Saving mothers and children
- Supporting education
- Growing local economies
The academic programs typically include coursework, internships and applied experiences, and research and preparation of a master’s thesis. Students can receive up to $30,000 to study for one or more years in a country other than the United States, where the institution of study is in a Rotary district. Individual Rotary clubs have no financial commitment; the scholarships are supported by our district and The Rotary Foundation.
Application information and timeline documents are on the District website. Applications are due to Rotary clubs by October 10, 2018 for study beginning in fall 2019. Applicants must reside in District 5950 or, within three years prior to application, they must have resided in, worked in, or attended an educational institution in District 5950 for at least two years.
For additional information, contact Ellen Kennedy at kennedy@worldwithoutgenocide.org or 952-693-5206. This program is in its fifth year in our district. Scholars have studied in Belgium, England, the Netherlands, and Spain.
