Purpose
Rotary Global Grants fund graduate study at institutions outside the United States in a variety of fields. The Rotary Global Grant Fellowship is an excellent alternative to the Fulbright program if your goal is graduate study at a university in another country! Your studies must relate to one or more of the six areas of Rotary focus, and your educational goal must have a long-term impact. Strong Rotary Global Grant Fellowship applications also identify the relationship between the educational goal and a career path related to one of the six areas.
Funding
The Global Grant’s minimum financing is $35,000. This is generally enough to cover most costs associated with a one-year masters program! In some cases, it can be enough to cover a two-year program.
For information about eligibility and the application process: See the Global Grant page of the official Rotary web site.
