Rotary Scholarship

The Rotary International Ambassadorial Scholarship is one of the Rotary Foundation's oldest and most well-known scholarship programs. Since 1947, the program has provided more than 37,000 men and women the opportunity to study in more than 100 different countries around the world. The purpose of the scholarship is to further international understanding and friendly relations among people of different countries. 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 return, they will also share with local Rotarians their experiences in their host country.

Students must have a 3.5 GPA and must be sponsored by their hometown Rotary Club or by the Laurens County Rotary Club to be eligible for interviews. The Rotary Foundation is looking for goodwill ambassadors not just academic superstars.

Application Deadline: May vary depending on Rotary Club
