District 7230 comprises New York City, the Bronx, Staten Island, Westchester County and Bermuda. [See Map]

There are two types of Rotary International scholarships for graduate studies abroad. The application for each one has to come through that Rotary Club, located within the boundaries of District 7230, where the applicant resides.

Ambassadorial Scholarship

The most commonly known scholarship is the Ambassadorial Scholarship, which is for one or two years of graduate study abroad, or for 3-6 months cultural exchange and language training abroad. This is competitive within the district to the extent the district has qualified to make such a grant or grants.

Susanne Wetzel chairs the Ambassadorial Scholarship subcommittee for our district. She may be contacted via e-mail using our "Contact Us" page.

World Peace Fellowship

The second scholarship is the World Peace Fellowship, which is for two years graduate study abroad at one of the several universities specified by Rotary International. This scholarship is very competitive, first within District 7230, and secondly by Rotary International in Evanston, Illinois.

Walter Metzger chairs the World Peace Scholarship subcommittee for our district. He may be contacted via e-mail using our "Contact Us" page.
