We're looking for scholarship candidates
Our Rotary Foundation makes grants for global scholarships for from one to four years with a minimum of $30,000. Do you know of a candidate?
Service above self is the foundation of Rotary, and living their lives with this mindset for more than 100 years, Rotarians, and Rotary are on the doorstep of eradicating polio. It all began with a big idea about what could happen in the future.
Looking toward the future, Rotary has its sights set on doing good globally in six areas of focus: 1) peace and conflict prevention/resolution, 2) disease prevention and treatment, 3) water and sanitation, 4) maternal and child health, 5) basic education and literacy, or 6) economic and community development.
District 5970 is sending Kristina McLaughlin to Trinity College Dublin in Dublin, Ireland for the 2016-2017 academic year to do research on how to commemorate historical events while keeping the peace and not creating future issues between differing sectors. We are looking for leaders who have in mind a career in one of the six areas of focus, and are interested in studying internationally to earn a graduate-level degree that assists them in achieving their desired career.
Global scholarships are available to students who are not Rotarians, or related to Rotarians, for the 2017-2018 academic year. The scholarship is a minimum of $30,000 for one to four years of graduate study or research. If you know of a college graduate who wants to pursue a life supporting one of the six areas of focus, please go to www.district5970.org/SitePage/district-foundation/global-scholarships-1 for more information regarding the Global Scholarship process.
