What is the Rotary Peace Fellowship Program?
The Rotary Peace Fellowship program is a fully funded master's degree or certificate in peace and conflict studies. Every year, up to 100 peace and development leaders are selected globally to receive the Rotary Peace Fellowship, which covers tuition and living expenses, international field experience, and research/conference opportunities at one of the Rotary Peace Centers, located within seven leading universities around the world.
