Each year, the Rotary Foundation selects up to 100 professionals from around the world to receive fellowships to study at one of the world’s peace centres. Through academic training, practice, and global networking opportunities, the Rotary Peace Centers program develops leaders who become catalysts for peace and conflict prevention and resolution. These fellowships cover tuition and fees, room and board, round-trip transportation, and all internship and field-study expenses. Deadline to apply is 31st of May.
The Rotary Peace Fellowship is designed for professionals with work experience in international relations or peace and conflict prevention and resolution. There are several Master’s degree programs that last up to 24 months and a Professional development certificate program lasting for two or three months. The programs will take place in one of the Rotary Peace Centers. They are based in universities in the USA, Japan, England, Australia, Thailand, and Sweden.
