Your help is needed to identify qualified candidates who are sincere in wanting to make a positive difference in the world. Those who fit that description might want to apply for the District 6560 Global Ambassadorial Scholarship for 2011.
This scholarship replaces the Ambassadorial Scholarship of the past. Rose Jackson, who is currently studying in Kenya, was our district’s first Global Ambassadorial Scholar and was nominated by our club. This scholarship will provide an award of $30,000 for 2 years of graduate level work culminating in a degree that encompasses one or more of the six focus areas adopted by The Rotary Foundation’s Future Vision Pilot program:
- Disease prevention/treatment
- Economic and community development
- Education and basic literacy
- Maternal and child health
- Peace and conflict resolution
- Water and sanitation
The applicant must not be a Rotarian, or related to a Rotarian.
If you know of someone you feel would be qualified and interested, please contact the Rotary Office for more information. Applicants must download and complete the Global Grants Scholarship application, and submit it to the Rotary office in early January 2011. Interviews will take place in February.
