Global Scholars
Overview
The purpose of the Global Grant Scholarship program is to support international study at the graduate level. This grant model builds on the very best of Rotary’s Global Scholar history. The Global Grant Scholarship has a shorter processing time frame, expands the opportunities available for scholars and simplifies the rules. If D5100 has allocated DDF for Global Grant Scholarships in a given Rotary year, the District Scholarship committee will solicit applications and interview and process prospective candidates the prior year.
How it Works
