Multi-year Ambassadorial Scholarship
This scholarship is for two years of full-time degree-oriented study at an institution assigned by The Rotary Foundation Trustees.

In addition to meeting the general eligibility requirements, applicants are expected to have completed at least one year of college-level course work or equivalent of the proposed language of study. Funding is provided to cover round-trip transportation, tuition and fees for language training, and home stay expenses.
