International Rotary Foundation Grant Scholarship Award

Description
Rotary Foundation Global Grants support large international activities with sustainable high-impact outcomes in one or more of the six areas of focus  and have a long-term impact. Clubs and districts can either create their own activities or sponsor packaged global grants  that are developed by The Rotary Foundation in cooperation with its strategic partners. 

The minimum award amount from the World Fund for a global grant, regardless of activity type, is US$15,000, which results in a minimum total financing of $30,000. The World Fund award is based on a 100 percent match of DDF ($1.00:$1.00) or a 50 percent match of cash contributions ($0.50:$1.00). 

Scholarship grant should be used for the following purposes:
  • Fund graduate-level study that relates to one or more of the areas of focus
  • Fund studies for a term of one to four academic years
  • Sponsor the academic studies of an individual traveling from the international sponsor district to the host sponsor district

Application Procedure

Once a proposal has been accepted, Rotarians will submit an online application that provides the Foundation with more detailed grant activity and budget information. (Depending on the award amount or complexity of the project, the Foundation may request additional details.) Applications requesting a World Fund award (match) of more than US$100,000 will be reviewed by the Trustees quarterly.

Submission Deadline
1 October will be reviewed in January
1 December will be reviewed in March
1 February will be reviewed in May
