(l-r) 2007-08 Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar, Laura McWilliams, Anubhav Mishra (my teacher), and Namita (my classmate)
Ambassadorial Scholarships - The Rotary Foundation's oldest and best-known program is Ambassadorial Scholarships. Since 1947 nearly 38,000 men and women from 100 nations have studied abroad under its auspices. Today it is the world's largest privately funded international scholarships program.
District 6150 sponsors one to two scholars each year and only for one full academic year. We give priority to scholarships for graduate level study, and require that all applicants must have completed at least their sophomore level credits. The ambassadorial elements of the scholarship are emphasized over the academic elements. learn more
Rotary World Peace Fellows – District 6150 is one of the “Pioneer Districts” that helped fund the startup of this unique, world-class program. The Rotary Centers for International Studies in Peace and Conflict Resolution offer individuals committed to peace and cooperation the opportunity to pursue a two-year master’s-level degree in international studies, peace studies, and conflict resolution at one of the seven Rotary Centers.
Our district may nominate one candidate for competition at the worldwide level. learn more
