Through academic training, practice, and global networking opportunities, the Rotary Peace Centers program develops the capacity of peace and development professionals to become effective catalysts for peace. The fellowships cover tuition and fees, room and board, round-trip transportation, and internship and field-study expenses.<\/p>\n

Since the program began in 2002, the Rotary Peace Centers have trained more than 1,600 fellows who now work in over 140 countries. Many serve as leaders in governments, NGOs, education and research institutions, peacekeeping and law enforcement agencies, and international organizations like the United Nations and the World Bank.<\/p>\n

Our fellowships<\/h4>\n

The Rotary Peace Fellowship is designed for leaders with work experience in peace and development. Our fellows are committed to community and international service and the pursuit of peace. Each year,\u00a0The Rotary Foundation<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0awards up to 50 fellowships for master\u2019s degrees and up to 40 for certificate studies at premier universities.<\/p>\n

Choose the program that’s right for you<\/h4>\n

Master\u2019s degree programs<\/strong><\/p>\n

Accepted candidates study peace and development issues with research-informed teaching and a diverse student body. The programs last 15 to 24 months and include a two- to three-month field study, which participants design themselves.<\/p>\n

Professional Development Certificate program<\/strong><\/p>\n

During the one-year blended learning program, experienced peace and development professionals with diverse backgrounds gain practical skills to promote peace within their communities and regions. Fellows complete field studies and design and carry out a social change initiative.\u00a0This program is intended for working professionals. Fellows earn a post-graduate diploma upon completion of the program.<\/p>\n

Our approach<\/h3>\n

We see peace not as an abstract concept but as a living, dynamic expression of human development. Peacebuilding is a cornerstone of our mission as a humanitarian service organization and is one of Rotary’s areas of focus \u2014 the channels of activity through which our members make their mark on the world. Our programs, grants and fellowships focus on creating environments where peace can be built and maintained. Rotary believes that if concerned citizens work together to create peace locally, lasting change can happen globally.<\/p>\n
