What is the application process?

  • Each District 5300 Rotary Club may sponsor one applicant.
  • A sponsoring club agrees to contribute $1,050 and to arrange for a qualified Rotary Club in the host location to be the scholar’s host.
  • District 5300 will contribute $15,000 to each scholarship and TRF will match.
