The Rotary Foundation is now accepting
applications for the world-competitive Rotary Peace Fellowship. The
fellowship provides academic and practical training to prepare
fellows for leadership roles in solving conflicts around the world.
Up to 100
fellows are selected every year based on personal, academic, and
professional achievements. Fellows earn a master’s-level degree or a
professional development certificate in peace and conflict studies at
one of six Rotary Peace Centers at leading universities in Australia,
England, Sweden, Japan, the United States and Thailand.
Both
programs require, at minimum, a bachelor’s degree in a related field;
three years of relevant work experience and proficiency in a second
language for the master’s program and five years of relevant work
experience and proficiency in English for the professional development
certificate.
The 2014 Academic term deadline is 1 July 2013. Applications are available at: www.rotary.org/rotarycenters. Please pay close attention to the language and academic test requirements for each center.
All
Rotary Peace Fellowship applications need the endorsement of a local
Rotary district. Applicants can find their nearest local Rotary Club by
using the Club Locator tool on the Rotary International website at http://www.rotary.org/en/AboutUs/SiteTools/ClubLocator/Pages/ridefault.aspx.
