The Rotary Centers for International Studies in peace and conflict resolution program supports the mission of The Rotary Foundation to further world understanding and peace.
The purpose of the Rotary Centers program is to
• Support and advance research, teaching, publication, and practical field experience on issues of peace, goodwill, causes of conflict, and world understanding
• Inspire people to work for a culture of peace and tolerance while enhancing their capacity, knowledge, and skill by generating interaction between practitioners and academics
• Provide advanced international education opportunities in the area of peace and conflict resolution
• Provide a means for The Rotary Foundation and Rotarians to increase their effectiveness in promoting greater tolerance and cooperation among peoples, leading to world understanding and peace
Candidates should consider these objectives carefully before applying and should be prepared to explain in their written statement and interviews how they would support these program objectives. In particular, candidates should demonstrate a commitment to community or international humanitarian service, and working for peace.
Applicants can choose from either the master’s degree or the professional development certificate program. Candidates will not be considered for both programs.
The Rotary Centers program is intended for individuals who have chosen a career related to international relations, peace, and conflict resolution, who already have work experience in these areas, and who have real potential to positively impact our world. For example, individuals active in journalism, education, civil service, nongovernmental organizations, diplomacy, mediation work, and the military may be strong candidates for the Rotary World Peace Fellowships.
Applicants are required to research individual university Web sites for specific admission requirements and current information about curriculum. A listing of Rotary centers and universities is on page 5 of this application form. Rotary World Peace Fellowship Applicants should have
• A strong commitment to international understanding and peace demonstrated through professional and academic achievements and personal and community service activities
• A bachelor’s degree or commensurate experience as a minimum, with strong academic achievement
• Minimum five years relevant work experience with current full-time employment in a mid- to upper-level position (professional development certificate)
• Minimum three years combined paid or unpaid full-time relevant work experience (master’s degree)
• Proficiency in a second language (master’s degree) or proficiency in English (professional development certificate)
• Strong leadership skills Individuals applying immediately after obtaining an undergraduate degree are generally not strong candidates for Rotary World Peace Fellowships.
