What are Rotary International undergrad scholarships about?

I'm looking into potential scholarships for my undergraduate studies and came across Rotary International scholarships. Can anyone explain what these scholarships typically cover and what the eligibility requirements might be for an undergrad student?

Rotary International offers a variety of scholarships aimed at promoting peace, cultural understanding, and education.

One of the major scholarship programs they offer is the Rotary Peace Fellowship. This program is for master's degree students and professionals interested in peace and conflict prevention/resolution. However, note that this fellowship is generally outside the scope for most undergraduate students as it's mainly geared towards graduate studies or professional development within specific fields.

On a local level, many Rotary Clubs offer scholarships for high school seniors heading into their undergraduate studies. The specifics, including values and eligibility requirements, can vary greatly from club to club because each local Rotary Club has autonomy to set its own scholarship rules and criteria.

Typically, to qualify, applicants must demonstrate strong academic achievement, service involvement (service above self is Rotary’s motto), and leadership potential. Some scholarships might be more specialized, rewarding students who have shown exceptional commitment in areas such as community service, international relations, or entrepreneurial spirit.

In terms of what they cover, Rotary scholarships are typically monetary awards that can be used for anything related to the expense of university, including tuition, room and board, books, or other academic necessities.

The best approach to finding out what specific Rotary scholarships might be available would be to contact your local Rotary Club and check with your high school's guidance office. They can provide information on what scholarships are offered, the amount, and more detailed eligibility criteria.
