Ambassadorial Scholars

This page gives more information about the scholarship.


The 2010-11 class of Ambassadorial Scholars received US$9.6 million through individual grants of $25,000. Since 1947, a total of $532 million has been award to 41,000 men and women.

The Ambassadorial Scholarships program promotes international understanding and friendly relations among people of different parts of the world.

The scholarships sponsor undergraduate and graduate students, as well as qualified professionals pursuing vocational studies. While abroad, scholars serve as goodwill ambassadors to the country where they study and give presentations about thei own culture to Rotary clubs and other groups. Back home, the scholars share with Rotarians and others the experiences that deepened their understanding of another culture.

Through their generous contributions, Rotarians worldwide show a continued faith that today's scholars will be tomorrow's community and world leaders. Rotary in our District (1020) give scholarships only to those who are deemed to be exceptional candidates.

This current format of scholarships will cease at the end of 2013, on the 1st of July 2013 The Rotary Foundation will offer scholarship opportunities through district and clobal grants - please get in touch if this scholarship is something that might interest you.
