Scholarships Offered

The world has no shortage of problems. To focus Rotary efforts at its various levels, The Rotary Foundation (TRF) has identified areas where Rotary can contribute to lasting change. These specific causes, known as Rotary's Seven Areas of Focus, help us align our local work and maximize our global impact.

All scholarship/stipend/fellowship funding opportunities must relate to one of Rotary’s Areas of Focus.
