Rotary Peace and Conflict Studies Program

 Application process

The program application and selection process consists of three levels: club, district, and world.

Club level

Interested applicants may download an application (PDF) or obtain one from a Rotary club. Applicants should submit completed applications to their local Rotary club, not to Chulalongkorn University or The Rotary Foundation directly. Because application deadlines vary by club and district, applicants must contact their local clubs and districts for specific information on deadlines.

Club contact information is usually available in local telephone directories or Club Locator. Applicants can also search for Rotary clubs’ Web sites or contact local chambers of commerce.

If you have difficulties finding or contacting a Rotary club in your area, get in touch with the Rotary Peace and Conflict Studies Program staff for assistance.

District level

Individual Rotary clubs conduct initial screenings and select applications to forward to the district level for competition. Club deadlines are set in accordance with district deadlines. Districts must allow sufficient time for interviews and selection in order to meet the deadlines for candidate submission to the Foundation. There is no limit to the number of qualified candidates an individual Rotary district may forward to the Foundation for the world competition.

World level

Each Rotary district will submit its candidates’ applications to the Foundation, according to the deadlines posted on this Web site, at least six weeks before each selection meeting. The world competition selection committee consists of Trustee-appointed Rotarians and representatives from Chulalongkorn University. The Foundation will inform candidates and districts about final selection decisions in March and September. Refer to the application timeline for more information. 

For more information, contact your local Rotary club or the Rotary Centers Department at The Rotary Foundation.
