Scholars and vocational training team members need to submit individual applications to supplement the overall
grant application. Grant sponsors should ensure that scholar and vocational training team applicants understand
that the Foundation needs to approve their applications before they incur any expenses or make travel
arrangements. Applications involving travel for scholars, vocational training teams and volunteer travelers need to
be submitted 90 days before the travel dates.

Note that:

1. If grant applications aren’t formally submitted within 12 months of initiation, the application will be
canceled.

2. If grant applications aren’t completed and approved within six months of submission, the application will
be canceled.

3. If payment requirements aren’t met within six months of approval, the grant will be canceled.

4. If grants aren’t implemented within 12 months of payment, the grant will be canceled, and the sponsors
will be required to return the funds.

Additional criteria for scholarships:
1. Applicants need to provide proof of university admission to a graduate-level program or letter of
invitation to conduct postgraduate-level research when applying for the grant. Admission that requires a
guarantee of financial support is acceptable.

2. Applicants need to study outside their home country.
3. Applications for scholars who will begin studies in August, September, or October need to be submitted by
30 June.

4. The scholar’s study period may begin at any semester during the course of their studies, but funding can
be for no less than one academic year.

Additional criteria for vocational training teams:

1. Teams need to be composed of at least three members, including a Rotarian team leader and at least two
other members. The team members must have at least two years of work experience each in the area of
focus. The Rotarian team leader needs to have a general level of Rotary knowledge, international
experience, leadership skills, and some expertise within the area of focus. Non-Rotarians may serve as
team leaders if the sponsors establish a need for this in the grant application.

2. Rotarians and their family members may participate in a vocational training team as long as the team is
providing training, not receiving training.
3. Relatives of a vocational training team member may participate on the same team if they meet eligibility
requirements.
