The Rotary Clubs of the Maltese Islands have jointly issued a call for applications for a Rotary Scholarship worth $30,000 for international, post-graduate studies during the academic year 2015-2016.  This scholarship is one of the most generous scholarships available in Malta.

Scholarships are available for study in one of Rotary Foundation's areas of focus, namely Peace and conflict prevention/ resolution, Disease prevention and treatment, Water and other sanitation, Maternal and child health, Literacy and basic education, and Economic and community development.  Scholarships range from one to four years and therefore can include an entire degree program and can cover tuition, travel and accommodation.

The Rotary Foundation is the world largest private donor of scholarships with 800 scholarships granted worldwide annually.  Rotary, active in Malta for 47 years, is a service club which enables members to provide services to the community and has supported many organisations such as Dar il-Kaptan, the Ghabex Centre, Caritas, etc.

Proposals for the scholarship need to be submitted by the 18 January and additional information as well as the proposal form is available at www.rotary.org.mt/stories/scholarship2015.
