Rotary Club of Edina members are needed to help find candidates for the Rotary Peace Fellowships program. Rotarians should encourage anyone qualified and interested in this opportunity to contact Rotarian Axel Steuer. For more on the qualifications and contact info, continue on to the linked story...
Each year, up to 50 Rotary Peace Fellows are chosen from around the world to carry forward the Rotary mission of promoting national and international cooperation, peace, and successful conflict resolution throughout their lives, in their careers, and through service.
Rotary International awards graduate study grants of $50,000 to $70,000 (to be used over a 15-24 month period) that allow Peace Fellows to pursue a master’s degree in international relations, public administration, sustainable development, peace studies, or a related field, as well as the completion of a three-month practicum experience, at various university study sites around the world.
Candidates for the Peace Fellowship will have a bachelor’s degree, completed 3 to 5 years of work or volunteer experience, and have demonstrated a commitment to peace and justice.
We invite Rotary Club of Edina members to assist us with identifying candidates to represent the Club. Applications for this fellowship are due to local Rotary clubs on April 1, 2015 for study beginning in 2016-2017 and will be forwarded, along with our recommendations, to District 5950 by May 1, 2015.
Please encourage potential candidates to contact Dr. Axel Steuer at asteuer@mail.ic.edu or at 952-929-2598 for more information and to apply.
