The program provides limited travel and living subsidies to Indian scholars visiting Canada. Application must be made through your local Rotary Club and must be endorsed by the club and the district in which the club is located. During the time abroad, Rotary scholars are expected to be ambassadors of goodwill through presentations to Rotary clubs and districts, school and civic organizations. Upon return home, they are expected to discuss and share their experiences with Rotarians and others. Applicants must be nationals of a country where Rotary Clubs are located and must have completed at least two years of university level coursework before the scholarship begins.
Criteria vary from program to program.
Local Rotary Clubs or the Rotary Foundation can be contacted for details. The dollar amount represents the maximum possible award, not the value of the scholarship. No part of the scholarship is to be used to defray expenses for spouse and children. Deadlines vary between March and July. Candidates must apply over a year in advance.
