provided to the Foundation upon request.
Grant recipients are responsible for:
1. Making travel arrangements. Failure to arrange travel promptly may increase the cost of travel or
result in the cancellation of the grant.
2. Any expenses that exceed the approved travel budget, unless approved by the Foundation
3. Meeting all medical requirements for international travel.
4. Arranging and funding any personal travel. Such travel may take place for a maximum of four
weeks at the end of the grant activities, after which grant recipients are expected to return home.
5. Abiding by RI country travel restrictions.
6. Obtaining travel insurance (Effective 1 July 2016 travel insurance will no longer be provided.
Grant recipients will purchase their own coverage. The Foundation will provide insurance to travelers
funded by grants approved prior to that date provided that the travel departure date is before 1 July
2016 and the return date is before 31 December 2016.) Scholars should ensure that their insurance
coverage meets the insurance requirements of their study institution.
Healthcare professionals who will be providing services as part of the grant activities are expected
to have a minimum of US$500,000 in professional liability insurance coverage (a.k.a. errors and
omissions liability). This refers to coverage for that participant’s legal liability arising from their
professional acts or omissions that cause harm to others. The participant is responsible for obtaining
and paying for this coverage.
Rotary International contracts a global security advisory firm to maintain a travel ban list of extremely
dangerous countries. TRF-funded travelers are not permitted to travel to these countries due to
safety concerns. If a country is added to the travel ban list while funded travelers are in-country,
plans will be made for their immediate evacuation. Should the funded individual not defer travel to or
evacuate from a country as instructed, it will result in TRF canceling the grant and any funds already
issued would need to be returned to TRF.
Non-Rotarians receiving grant funding for scholarships, participation in vocational training teams, or
travel to implement a humanitarian project are expected to:
1. Demonstrate knowledge of Rotary
2. Participate in an orientation session before departure (either online or in person)
3. Participate in club and district activities as requested by their sponsors, such as speaking and
presenting at club or district meetings and participating in service projects
4. Be proficient in the language of the host country
