Rotary Peace Scholars

The Rotary Peace Scholars Program

Rotary International has introduced a program for scholars to study Peace and Conflict Resolution.

Rotary has established partnerships with seven internationally renowned Universities with high calibre programs in Peace and Conflict Resolution.

Upto seventy Scholarships are awarded each year by the Foundation of Rotary International for study at one of these institutions for a period of two years.

The first intake of Rotary Peace Scholars began their studies in July 2002 and have recently completed their programs.
