2) have a secondary school education and have been employed in a recognized vocation for at least two years.
The scholarship is for one regular academic year (nine months) of full-time study. The scholarship may also be used for vocational training. Since candidates are expected to be proficient in the language of the host country, generally this scholarship is not appropriate for study of a foreign language.
Persons with disabilities are encouraged to apply. Applicants must apply through a Rotary club
1) located in the area of their legal or permanent residence, or
2) located in the place of full-time study or employment.
The scholarship provides a flat grant of $25,000. Funding is intended to defray costs associated with round-trip transportation, one month of intensive language training (if assigned by the Foundation), required fees for a normal course load, room and board, and educational supplies The Foundation will not pay additional costs resulting from personal living preferences. Applicants who request and are assigned to an institution where costs exceed the flat grant amount must pay all additional costs.
