[APPLY NOW] Rotary Peace Fellowship 2022 For Young Leaders

Applications for the Rotary Peace Fellowship For Young Leaders for the 2023-24 academic year are currently open.

A key goal of the Rotary Peace Centers program is to strengthen the skills of peace and development professionals so that they may be more effective peacemakers in their local communities and throughout the world. For example, the fellowships pay for the cost of tuition and fees as well as the cost of living expenses, round-trip transportation, and field-study expenses.

About Rotary Peace Fellowship

This fellowship is for people who have worked on peace and development before. It’s called the Rotary Peace Fellowship. Our fellows want to help people in their communities and around the world, and they want to find ways to make the world a better place. As many as 50 fellowships for master’s degrees and up to 80 for certificate studies are given out by the Rotary Foundation each year. They are given out at top universities.

Available Programmes

Accepted applicants study peace and development problems in a research-informed environment with a varied student population, which complements their academic training. For the duration of the program, participants plan a two- or a three-month field research, which they conduct on their own.

It is a one-year blended learning program that teaches experienced peace and development professionals with varied backgrounds how to promote peace in their communities and throughout the world.
