The Rotary Foundation welcomes eligible candidates from all backgrounds. We are looking to invest in early-career candidates for the master's degree program with at least three years of relevant experience, and mid-career candidates for the certificate program with at least five years of relevant experience. Rotary awards fellowships for master's degrees in peace and development studies at six premier universities around the world. Programs vary in length from 15 to 24 months and include two to three months of applied field experience designed by the peace fellow. Rotary also offers fellowships for professionals who want to earn a postgraduate diploma in peace and development studies and are already working in a related field. Fellows complete field studies, and they also design and carry out a social change initiative. Students must apply for admission (master's only) to the university where their Peace Center is located. Rotary Peace Fellowships may not be used for doctoral study. Being selected for the fellowship does not mean you have been admitted to the university. Candidates must have at least three years between the completion of their most recent academic degree program (undergraduate or graduate degree) and their intended start date for the fellowship. Candidates currently enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program are not eligible to apply. Applicants must submit their personal video statement and essays, transcripts from postsecondary colleges and universities attended (master's only), English language proficiency test scores (master's only), and social impact plan (certificate only). Please visit the fellowship's website for more information.
