Where do educational programs fit into the new model?
The Rotary Centers for International Studies program – and the US$95 million major gifts initiative to permanently fund Rotary World Peace Fellowships – will not change. Activities in this program clearly support the peace and conflict prevention/resolution area of focus . Eligible activities currently supported through the Foundation’s other educational programs, such as Group Study Exchange teams and Ambassadorial Scholars , will exist under both grant types. If the GSE team members’ vocation or a scholar’s academic field relates to an area of focus, the activity may be eligible for a Rotary Foundation Global Grant. Districts can use Rotary Foundation District Grants to support educational activities that don’t fall within the areas of focus.
