Rotary Global Scholarship Grants

Here are Rotary scholarships Grants available for international students worldwide. The  Global Grants support international activities within Rotary’s areas of focus, activities that have sustainable and measurable outcomes. As a result, the Rotary clubs and districts respond to real community needs and strengthen global partnerships.

The Rotary Foundation funds scholarships through global and district grants.
The critical feature of these grants is the partnership between the club/district in the study location (host sponsor) and the district/club in the scholar’s home country (international sponsor). Both sponsors must be qualified before they submit applications.
