Rotary Foundation Ambassadorial Scholarships 2011-12

The purpose of the Ambassadorial Scholarships program is to further international understanding and friendly relations among people of different countries and geographical areas. The program sponsors academic year scholarships for undergraduate and graduate students as well as for qualified professionals pursuing vocational studies. While abroad, scholars serve as goodwill ambassadors to the host country and give presentations about their homelands to Rotary clubs and other groups. Upon returning home, scholars share with Rotarians and others the experiences that led to a greater understanding of their host country (Club Locator ).

Interested applicants must apply for Rotary Foundation Ambassadorial Scholarships through their local Rotary club. Before completing the application, contact your local Rotary club to make sure that the district participates in this program. Because timelines vary, only your local club can provide specific information about application
deadlines. For 2011-12 awards, club deadlines may be as early as 1 March 2010 or as late as 15 August 2010. Remember that availability varies by Rotary district. If your local district is not offering scholarships at this time, try inquiring next year.

Applicants must have completed at least two years of university or college course work, or must have a secondary school education and have been employed in a recognized vocation for at least two years when the scholarship begins. All applicants must be citizens of a country in which there is a Rotary club. Applicants must initially apply through a Rotary club located in the area of their legal or permanent residence, or place of fulltime study or employment.

The money from this fund was used to construct the Gandhi Wing and the Gandhi Memorial Library as well as assisting in the purchase of the land on which the Chiromo Campus is built.

MGMAS decided to use the surplus to help bright needy students registered for various programmes of the University in form of bursaries and partial scholarships to build the capacity of trained personnel in the country. This has remained the tradition since then and many students have benefited from the fund. Currently the bursaries are given to undergraduate students and are managed by the MGMAS while the scholarship is given to postgraduate students registered for both postgraduate Diploma or Masters programmes at the University of Nairobi only and is managed by GSNF.
