Rotary International's Ambassadorial Scholarship Program is seeking undergraduate and graduate students as well as qualified professionals who are interested in studying at an academic institution abroad for the 2010-2011 school year. Applications must be received by Saturday, August 15, 2009, and endorsed by a Rotary club in District 5010. Successful applicants will be notified by mid-September.

The Ambassadorial Scholarship is the world's largest privately funded international scholarship program. Its purpose is to further international understanding and friendly relations among people of different countries and geographical areas.
