Ambassadorial Scholarships Program

The Foundation's oldest and best-known service activity is its Rotary Ambassadorial Scholarships program. The program is one of the largest privately funded international scholarship programs, sending approximately 1,200 participants to study internationally each year. The Rotary Grants for University Teachers program is now considered part of the Educational Programs area at The Rotary Foundation and the Scholarships Subcommittee chairperson is asked to assume the responsibility for this program.

The purposes of the Ambassadorial Scholarships program are to:

  • send ambassadors of goodwill to improve international understanding;
  • instill a high degree of international understanding in all scholars within the context of the high ideals which Rotary embodies;
  • impart needed skills to scholars, especially those from developing countries; and
  • educate scholars from developed countries in the unique problems and challenges faced by developing countries.
