G. Ensure that the project’s name complies with Rotary’s policies for use of its logos, emblems, and graphics
(see section I, Eligible Activities).
H. Limit each primary sponsor club or district to 10 open grants at a time.

I. Plan for contingencies. Sponsors may include a budget line item for contingencies that represents no more
than 10% of the total budget, in order to offer protection from price increases or currency fluctuations.
J. Include administrative costs. Sponsors may allocate up to 10% of the project budget for project
management costs, which may include a project manager and project-specific overhead and administrative
costs for cooperating organizations.
K. Measure outcomes. Sponsors may allocate up to 10% of the project budget for measuring project outcomes.

L. Nonmembers who receive grant funding for scholarships, participation in vocational training teams, or
travel to implement a humanitarian project are expected to:

1. Participate in an orientation session before their departure (either online or in person)
2. Take part in club and district activities as requested by their sponsors, such as speaking at club or
district meetings and participating in service projects

M. Scholars and vocational training team members submit individual applications to supplement the overall
grant application. Grant sponsors should ensure that scholar and vocational training team applicants
understand that the Foundation must approve their applications before they incur any expenses or make
travel arrangements.

N. Guidelines for scholarship applicants:
1. Applicants must provide proof of university admission to a graduate-level program or a letter of
invitation to conduct postgraduate-level research when they apply for the grant. Admission that
requires a guarantee of financial support is acceptable.

2. Applicants must study outside their home country.
3. Applicants who would begin studies in August, September, or October must apply by 30 June.

4. The scholar’s study period may begin at any point during the course of their studies, but funding can be
for no less than one academic year.
O. Guidelines for vocational training teams:

1. A vocational training team comprises at least three members, including a team leader who is a Rotary
member. Each team member must have at least two years of work experience in the area of focus. The
team leader needs to have general knowledge about Rotary, international experience, leadership skills,
and some expertise within the area of focus. Nonmembers may serve as team leaders if the sponsors
demonstrate the need for this in the grant application.

2. Rotary members and their family members may participate in a vocational training team as long as the
team is providing training, not receiving training, and the family members meet eligibility
requirements.
3. If more than one team travels under a single grant, the teams must share the same two primary
sponsors and begin travel within one year of each other.
4. All team members must be approved by the Foundation before travel. Any changes to the team’s
composition must be reported to and approved by the Foundation.
