The purpose of the Rotary Global Scholarship program is to further international understanding and peaceful relations among people of different races, nationalities, ethnicities, and religions while pursuing an approved program of graduate study at an institution of higher education in a foreign country. While abroad, scholars serve as ambassadors of goodwill to the people of the host country and give presentations about their homeland to Rotary clubs and other groups. Upon returning home, scholars share with Rotarians and others the experiences that led to a greater understanding of their host countries.Individual Rotary Districts around the world decide annually whether they will participate in the Global Scholarship program and how much funding will be available there. District 5830 will offer one Rotary Global Grant Scholarship award of $30,000 to an outstanding student who wishes to study abroad during the 2027-2028 academic year. This scholarship is for one year only and is open only to students engaged in full-time study in a graduate degree program. Applicants for a Rotary Global Scholarship must enroll in a graduate course of study that is directly related to one of Rotary International’s seven areas of focus.
