Each year, Rotary awards up to 130 fully funded fellowships (130 FULLY FUNDED ROTARY PEACE FELLOWSHIPS – SCHOLARSHIPS 2024-2025) for dedicated leaders from around the world to study at one of our peace centers.
Deadline: 15 May 2024.
Through academic training, practice, and global networking opportunities, the Rotary Peace Centers program develops the capacity of peace and development professionals to become effective catalysts for peace. The fellowships cover tuition and fees, room and board, round-trip transportation, and internship and field-study expenses.
Since the program began in 2002, the Rotary Peace Centers have trained more than 1,700 fellows who now work in over 140 countries. Many serve as leaders in governments; NGOs; education and research institutions; peacekeeping and law enforcement agencies; and international organizations like the United Nations and the World Bank.
