ROTARY PEACE FELLOWSHIP

Do you know someone who is interested in expanding their knowledge of peace building, conflict resolution, and mediation?

If you do, recommend him or her for a Rotary Peace Fellowship!  Rotary, one of the world's largest humanitarian service organizations has partnered with seven leading universities around the globe to host the Rotary Centers for International Studies in peace and conflict resolution.

Each year, Rotary selects up to 100 Fellows to study peace and conflict resolution at universities around the world. 

Some of the program highlights include:

A choice of either a three-month certificate course or master's degree program.                                                                                                       The opportunity to study at one of seven universities around the world.                                                                                                                      Training in the root causes of conflict, theories of international relations, and effective models of cooperation, conflict resolution and negotiation.                                                                                                                       Full funding for tuition, housing expenses, and airfare.                                                                                                        Access to a growing network of committed alumni employed around the world in diplomacy, government, non-governmental organizations and private corporations.

The master's level degree program is aimed at mid-career professionals in government, nongovernmental organizations and private corporations. The certificate program is for professionals currently holding a mid- to upper-level position with a minimum of five years of experience in the field of peace and conflict resolution.
