Rotary International's Ambassadorial Scholarship Rotary International and the 30,000+ Rotary clubs provide a large variety of scholarships. The Potomac-Bethesda Rotary Club has a long-term and special interest in the Rotary International's Ambassadorial Scholarships. The Rotary Ambassadorial Scholarship represents one of the largest private international scholarship program in the world. It provides $23,000 for a graduate student to work on a degree program in another country.  The Scholarship also comes with a relationship with Rotary Clubs in the area where the studies take place which can be very useful. Candidates apply to Rotary clubs in the area where they live (not where they want to study.)   Candidates recommended by Rotary clubs compete for the scholarships at the Rotary District level.  We are in Rotary District 7620 (Washington, DC and Baltimore metro areas) with about 70 other clubs.
