Williamsburg Rotary - International Scholarships

Students interested in graduate study abroad for 2008-2009 are encouraged to apply for an Ambassadorial Scholarship sponsored by the Rotary Foundation of Rotary International. This scholarship program is designed to further world understanding and peace by sending ambassadors of goodwill to study in another country for an academic year. Applications and details can be found on the Rotary International Web site at www.rotary.org. Each scholarship provides up to $23,000 (amounts depending on expenses associated with one’s studies). A minimum GPA of 3.2 is required, along with two recommendations from academic instructors, and a language ability form if the native language of the proposed country of study is different from the applicant’s. Applications must be endorsed by a Rotary club, but you may apply through a Rotary club in your place of legal residence or in your place of full-time study. The deadline for District 7600 applications (Williamsburg, James City County, and other local clubs) is April 1, 2007. For contact with the Williamsburg club, phone or e-mail: James N. McCord, Jr., Department of History, 229-8909 or: jnmcco@wm.edu; for the James City County club, contact Jodi Fisler, Office of Student Volunteer Services, Campus Center ; phone 221-2738; e-mail: jxfisl@wm.edu
