Rotary International, the governing body of Rotary Clubs, offers assistance for graduate students in international relations through its Rotary World Peace Fellowships. Rotary Peace Fellows can earn a master's degree or a professional development certificate in international relations, public administration, or a related field. Applicants should have a bachelor's degree and a record of academic achievement, as well as a commitment to international understanding and peace. Proficiency in a second language is also desirable.
This program, named for a U.S. Senate staff member killed by terrorists in 1976, enables students of international relations to apply their knowledge in a real-world setting, working with a member of Congress or in the U.S. State Department. Rosenthal Fellows must have a commitment to public service and their education must reflect an interest in international relations.
The German Marshall Fund awards scholarships of up to $30,000 to graduate students in international relations and related social science fields. The fund awards 11 scholarships each year. Applicants must be U.S. citizens and applications for the scholarship must be filed by Nov. 15 each year.
