AMBASSADORIAL SCHOLARSHIPS
As RI defines District 9320 as a low
income Rotary District, we are entitled to nominate one candidate for an
Ambassadorial Scholarship. This nominee will compete on a worldwide basis for a
limited number of scholarships made available by The Rotary Foundation. About 20
are awarded annually and our district nominations have been successful for the
past three years.
Applicants should preferably be
graduates with good academic records, have a good knowledge of their country and
have a record of service to the community. In addition to studying, they are
expected to be ambassadors for their country by becoming involved in welfare
work in their overseas community.
Clubs and potential candidates can download details
about the programme from the
Rotary International web site

Applicants should be resident in
the area covered by Rotary District 9320 (an area stretching more or less from
Jeffreys Bay to East London and then northwards to Kimberley, Potchefstroom,
the Free State and Lesotho.)
As this is a scholarship, very high
academic standards are expected and candidates should at least be in possession
of a degree obtained with a number of distinctions.
As this is an Ambassadorial
Scholarship, the recipient is expected to act as an ambassador for South Africa
and should thus be knowledgeable about this country. He or she will be
expected to address various groups in the country of study and in this country.
As with all Rotary awards, a
successful candidate will have a record of practical service to the community. |
