The mission of The Rotary Foundation is to enable Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty. The Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation supported solely by voluntary contributions from Rotarians and friends of the Foundation who share its vision of a better world. Our Foundation committee serves the purpose of raising money for Rotary International, some of which comes back to our club, for World Community Service projects. Ambassidorial Scholarships
Ambassadorial Scholarships, The Rotary Foundation's oldest and best-known program, was founded in 1947. Since then, nearly 38,000 men and women from about 100 nations have studied abroad under its auspices. Today it is the world's largest privately funded international scholarships program. Nearly 700 scholarships were awarded for study in 2009-10. Through
grants totaling approximately US$16.2 million, recipients from about 70
countries studied in more than 80 nations.
