Ambassadorial Scholarships Opportunities for 2010-2011
It’s time again for all clubs to start
thinking about candidates for this wonderful opportunity. The process
begins two years in advance, so prospective Ambassadorial Scholars will
be submitting applications for the 2010-2011 academic year.
Ambassadorial Scholarships are for one
academic year only, up to $24,000 maximum, and are available to students
who have completed a minimum of two full years at a college or
university. The student may pursue graduate or undergraduate study with
the scholarship and must be a permanent resident of District 6990 and sponsored
by a Rotary Club in District 6990. Successful candidates must speak the
language of the country of the proposed study institution and cannot be a
Rotarian, or family of a Rotarian.
The number of scholarships awarded
annually is determined by the district according to available funds.
District 6990 currently sponsors three scholars who recently began their
2008-09 year abroad. Three scholarships were awarded for 2009-10.
Following is the timeline for students interested in applying for a
2010-11 Ambassadorial Scholarship:
