Application
Once a proposal has been accepted, Rotarians will submit an online application that provides the Foundation with more detailed grant activity and budget information. (Depending on the award amount or complexity of the project, the Foundation may request additional details.)

You must be a member of any rotary club/district in order to apply for the study grant. Non-members can contact Rotary clubs in their respective countries (see contact details below) to inquire on how to be sponsored for the grant.
