Rotary’s Areas of Focus – Global Grant Scholars are individuals who are pursuing a career in one of the six Rotary Areas of Focus. Their graduate-level educational goals should support this career interest in one of the following Areas:

  • Peace and Conflict Prevention/Resolution
  • Disease Prevention and Treatment
  • Water and Sanitation
