Rotary 2024-2025 Global Scholar Application

The purpose of the Rotary 2024-25 Global Grant Scholarship is to foster international understanding through graduate study in a foreign university with a concentration in one or more of Rotary International’s Seven Areas of Focus. The value of the scholarship is $30,000. Three scholarships are available.

Mukund Nori, of the Rotary Club of North Branford, is the Committee Chair. All questions should be directed to Mukund for any clarifications. The final decision regarding Global Grant Scholarship recipients is made by The Rotary Foundation. Sponsoring clubs will be responsible for submitting Global Grant Scholarship to TRF, and when approved be responsible for financial stewardship.

Candidates must apply, be interviewed, and be endorsed by a District 7980 Rotary Club prior to being interviewed by the District Scholarship Committee. If you are interested in applying for this scholarship, you should contact your local club prior to December 31, 2024, to receive the necessary guidance. The deadline for submitting the application to the Rotary Club is January 17, 2025. The club is responsible for reviewing the application, interviewing the candidates, and forwarding the completed application to the District Scholarship Committee. The interview schedule is set by the Rotary Club. All decisions on endorsement are made by the Rotary Club. There are no limits on the number of applications from an institution of higher education or endorsed by a Rotary Club. For those having questions about securing club interviews and endorsement, please contact either the District Scholarship Chair, Mukund Nori at [email protected] or Past District Governor, Colin Gershon at [email protected].
