Did you know that every year, Rotary awards 50 fully-paid fellowships for master’s degrees and up to 80 for certificate studies at top universities around the world?
Since the Rotary Peace Fellowship program began in 2002, Rotary Peace Centers have trained more than 1,800 fellows who work in over 140 countries. Many are leaders in governments, NGOs, education and research institutions, peacekeeping and law enforcement agencies, and international organizations like the UN and the World Bank.
In addition to having tuition, room and board, round-trip transportation, and internship and field-study expenses fully paid, these universities have Rotary Peace Centers where fellows meet each other to increase their networks. And local Rotary clubs also provide support for the fellows.
