Rotary Offers Scholarship for International Graduate-Level Study

The Rotary Clubs in our area are offering an international scholarship for students who are interested in pursuing further study abroad.  Applicants must live in Essex, Morris, Sussex or Warren counties, and must be interested in planning a career in one of the following subject areas:

• Peace and conflict resolution 
• Disease prevention and treatment 
• Water and sanitation
• Maternal and child health 
• Basic education and literacy
• Economic and community development

Candidates must be accepted to a foreign university at the time of application.  The scholarship is competitive, and the main factors considered are a scholar’s experience, the graduate program of study, and career goals. Of added importance is having a plan with a clear-cut purpose. Additional information may be found in the Rotary Foundation Section of  www.rotary.org .

Those interested should send their resume, college transcripts, and proposal (to include the program of study and a description of a career path) to George Hrobuchak, 292 Diamond Spring Road, Denville, New Jersey 07834 or email to Ghrobs@aol.com. The deadline is May 1, with interviews to follow. You may contact him should there be a need for additional information.
