Another relatively new scholarship is the Church Hill Scholarship. It's for international students from participating countries who wish to study engineering, mathematics, or computer, physical or biological sciences at any US institution.
The Rotary Peace Fellowships is an opportunity for students from around the world who want to pursue a master's degree or certificate program in peace and conflict resolution.
