For those interested in studying abroad, applications for the 2010-11 Rotary Foundation Ambassadorial Scholarships are due March 31, with both Academic-Year and Multi-Year Ambassadorial Scholarships available.
The scholarship for one academic year abroad is a flat grant of $23,000, or its equivalent. The Multi-year Ambassadorial Scholarships are flat grants of $11,500 per year for two years toward the cost of a degree program in another country. Also available are Cultural Ambassadorial Scholarships that provide funding for three or six months of intensive language study and cultural immersion in another country and are flat grants of $10,000 and $15,000, respectively.
Scholars represent their homelands and work to further international understanding through appearances before Rotary clubs and districts, schools, civic organizations, and other forums in their host countries.
Applicant interviews will be conducted between March 31 and April 14, and club nominations will be sent to the district where addition interviews will be conducted. The final, formal scholarship offers will be made by Rotary International in November.
