Rotary Offers Scholarships

The Rotary Club of Danbury Sunrise is accepting applications for Rotary International Scholarships for study abroad.

An Ambassadorial Scholarship is available for one academic year of study in a foreign university. Another scholarship is available for three months of intensive foreign language study abroad. The one-year program will be funded up to $25,000 and the three-month study can cover up to $12,000.

Successful students will be expected to have speaking engagements here and abroad. They are also expected to be good ambassadors for Rotary and the United States.

Successful applicants for the World Peace Scholarship are to pursue a two-year master’s program in peace studies, conflict resolutions at one of seven of Rotary’s Centers for International Peace. Only 70 of these scholarships are available each year, and competition is on a worldwide basis.

Successful scholars will be assigned a Rotarian counselor in the place of study who will provide orientation and advice.

Anyone wishing additional information on Rotary International and the scholarship opportunities may visit rotary.org.
