Club Meeting with Speaker and Supper

Our Club is hosting Kyoka Oimatsu, a Japanese student studying at Sussex University under a Rotary Global grant scholarship. These Scholarships fund international post graduate coursework or research for one to four academic years. She is undertaking an MA in Migration Studies (area of focus – Peacebuilding and Conflict Prevention) at the University of Sussex.

Global Scholars must be planning to pursue a career in an area of focus, and their graduate-level educational goals should support this career interest. Pursuing a career in an area of focus means the scholar has a long-term commitment to measurable, sustainable change. A candidate’s previous work or volunteer experience, academic programme and career plans must be strongly aligned with one of Rotary's six areas of focus. 

Eligible candidates should be demonstrating the following traits: 

• Excellent leadership skills and potential
• A proven record of success in his or her academic field or vocation
• A commitment to community service
• Well-defined and realistic goals
• Concrete ideas for advancing within his or her chosen field
• Sincerity about maintaining a lifelong relationship with Rotary after the scholarship period.
