Ambassadorial Scholarships
The Rotary Foundation's oldest and best-known program is
Ambassadorial Scholarships. Since 1947 nearly 37,000 men and women from 100
nations have studied abroad under its auspices. Today it is the world's largest
privately funded international scholarships program. Nearly 800 scholarships
were awarded for study in 2005-06. Through grants totaling approximately US$500
million, recipients from some 70 countries studied in more than 70 nations. The
purpose of the Ambassadorial Scholarships program is to further international
understanding and friendly relations among people of different countries. The
program sponsors several types of scholarships for undergraduate and graduate
students as well as for qualified professionals pursuing vocational studies.
While abroad, scholars serve as ambassadors of goodwill to the people of the
host country and give presentations about their homelands to Rotary clubs and
other groups. Upon returning home, scholars share with Rotarians and others the
experiences that led to greater understanding of their host countries. Generous
contributions from Rotarians worldwide represent continued faith that the
students who are Ambassadorial Scholars today will be tomorrow's community and
world leaders.
