The deadline for 1990-2000 scholarships has already passed. Endorsed applications are forwarded to Rotary International headquarters by 1 October, where they receive final approval by the Trustees of The Rotary Foundation. In January, they receive a packet of comprehensive information about the scholarship requirements. Contact your local Rotary club to inquire if scholarships are available in your area. Scholarships are funded entirely by voluntary contributions by Rotarians to The Rotary Foundation, and each district chooses which Foundation programs they wish to support.
Some districts offer more scholarships than others.
Your only option is to inquire about availability next year. The Rotary Foundation cannot accept your application without club and district endorsement. Since the primary purpose of the Ambassadorial Scholarships program is to further international understanding, the scholarship must be used for study abroad. Generally, scholars will not be assigned to a country where they have previously lived or studied. In addition, the Trustees strive for a wide geographic distribution of scholars in order to accomplish the program's overall objectives.
