2012 Global Grant Scholar Application Form (doc)

District 5160 as a Rotary Future Vision Pilot District will offer a Global Grant Scholarship replacing the Ambassadorial Scholarship for 2012-13. The Global Grant Scholarship will provide one academic year of post‐baccalaureate studies in one of the six areas of focus established by the Rotary Foundation: Peace & conflict Resolution, Disease prevention & treatment, Water & sanitation, Maternal & child health, Basic education & literacy, Economic & community development. A new application form has been developed for this scholarship.

This year’s deadline for submission of Global Grant Scholarship applications is fast approaching, and we are asking for your help in promoting this important new District program. Pertinent dates related to the application process are as follows:

PLEASE NOTE: These applications are for the 2013-2014 academic year. Make sure your applicants understand this.

Deadline for submission of applications: May 14, 2012

Interviews of applicants: June 2, 2012, Saturday (mandatory)

The Global Grant Scholarship Program will be an important part of the Rotary International Foundation. In selecting applicants for the prestigious award, the committee will look primarily for both the intellectual qualification of the candidates and for their interpersonal skills in representing the principles of Rotary abroad. While we are selecting qualified Americans for work and study abroad, we are also hosting visiting Ambassadorial Scholars from other countries. We hope in this way that the Global Grant Scholarship and the Ambassadorial Scholarship Program, as we represent them, will contribute to international understanding and forward the object of Rotary.

I urge you on behalf of the Foundation and the Scholarship Committee to search out the outstanding young people in your community. Find those whose lives can be enriched in graduate studies and whose knowledge and understanding can further Rotary ideals. Then have them apply through your club.
