The
Rotary Foundation Mission Statement The
mission of The Rotary Foundation is to enable Rotarians to advance world
understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the
support of education, and the alleviation of poverty. The Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation supported
solely by voluntary contributions from Rotarians and friends of the Foundation
who share its vision of a better world. 100.% of your
contribution is used for Foundation Programs. Programs
of the Through Foundation grants and
programs, Rotarians and other contributors can help change the world. They can
finance a well for a village that lacks clean water, improve the environment, or
provide scholarships to educate the next generation. The grants and programs
available to Rotarians allow them to realize Rotary’s humanitarian mission
throughout the world, including its number-one goal of eradicating polio. Programs Polio

Programs Students
and Youth Rotary's programs for students and youth can change the
lives of those who participate. Through these programs, young people can earn
scholarships, travel on cultural exchanges, or help a community through a
service project. GSE The
Group Study Exchange (GSE) program of The Rotary Foundation is a unique cultural
and vocational exchange opportunity for young business and professional men and
women between the ages of 25 and 40 (does not apply to Rotarian Team Leader) and
in the early years of their professional lives. The GSE program provides travel
grants for team members to experience the host country's institutions and ways
of life, observe their own vocations as practiced abroad, develop personal and
professional relationships, and exchange ideas. The Rotary Foundation provides
round-trip air travel and the host Rotarians provide for meals, lodging, and
in-country group travel. Ambassadorial
Scholars The
Foundation sponsors one of the largest international scholarship programs in the
world. Scholars study in a different country, where they serve as unofficial
ambassadors of goodwill. Since 1947, more than 47,000 scholars from 110
countries have received scholarships of more than $476 million through The
Rotary Foundation. The
purpose of these Ambassadorial Scholarships is to further international
understanding and friendly relations among people of different countries and
geographical areas. 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 goodwill
ambassadors to 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 a greater understanding of
their host country. Applicants
apply for Ambassadorial Scholarships through their local Rotary club.
Deadlines range between March and August, of the year prior to the scholarship. Grants for
University Teachers Purpose:
The Grants for Higher Education Teachers program blends two of Rotary’s most
important emphases education and volunteer service. The primary purpose is to
further international understanding and friendship while strengthening higher
education in low-income countries. Low-income countries are defined in terms of
per capita GNP. If
you want more information on the Grants for Higher Education Teachers Program,
go to the relevant
section on the Rotary International website. Other Programs Alumni Association |
