Request for Candidates

 

The Rotary Global Grant Scholar Program is designed to award college graduate-level students US$30,000 to study abroad. The hope is to provide an enriching experience of study and humanitarian service, encouraging students to adopt Rotary's motto of "Service Above Self" as a lifestyle.

 
ROTARIANS IN DISTRICT 6330 – WE NEED YOUR HELP NOW!
We have $30,000 available as a Global Scholarship Grant to a deserving student who lives in District 6330 or goes to school here.  Do you know any students who may be interested? The recipient of this grant cannot be a Rotarian, Honorary Rotarian or be closely related to a Rotarian. Rotaractors and former youth exchange students are eligible and are encouraged to apply along with any other interested students from your communities.
 
The student must have completed an undergraduate degree by June 2015 and must choose further studies that incorporate one or more of the following Rotary foci:
  • Peace and conflict prevention/resolution

More Information and the Global Grant Scholarship Application form are available on the District 6330 web site – www.rotary6330.org.
Qualified candidates must submit their completed application to their local Rotary Club for review and support by October 15, 2014.
Interviews for District 6330 finalists will be conducted on a Saturday in November, 2014, in Sarnia, Ontario or by Skype.
The successful candidate will then make a formal application to the Rotary Foundation. If approved, the scholar should be ready to start his/her studies in September, 2015 or January, 2016.
