Area of Focus: Peacebuilding and conflict prevention
Our candidate for this Global Grant Scholarship will enroll in a Master of Arts degree in Social Innovation from the University of San Diego Kroc School of Peace Studies, beginning in late August 2026. Selected by both D5340 and D5080, the successful candidate will have a history of experience working for international organizations and the desire to further develop his or her expertise and skills. Coming from and having experienced a conflict zone, he or she will be clearly motivated to pursue this career path after graduation.
Your project is "Fully Pledged". This means the amount of the pledges is equal to the total budget of the project. Now the project needs to be finalized and go through the approval process with The Rotary Foundation. This process gets started on the administration page.
Project listed for the 2026-27 Rotary Year.

DDF contributions in grey are pending approval of the corresponding district committee.
Note: as of July 1, 2015 there is a 5% additional support fee for cash contributions. This fee does not appear in the financials above because it does not apply if the funds are sent directly to the project account (without going through TRF, and therefore without Paul Harris credit). Clubs sending their cash contribution to TRF must be aware they will have to send an additional 5%.
