The Rotary Scholarships for Water and Sanitation Professionals - Netherlands

Rotary and the UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education have teamed up to tackle the world’s water and sanitation crisis by increasing the number of trained professionals to devise, plan, and implement solutions in developing and emerging countries.

Through this partnership, The Rotary Foundation will provide grants to Rotary clubs and districts to select and sponsor 8 students each year.
About Rotary

Rotary is an international organization of business, professional, and community leaders who provide humanitarian service and help to build goodwill and peace in the world. In 34,000 Rotary clubs worldwide, 1.2 million members known as Rotarians volunteer their expertise, time, and funds to support local and international projects. Rotary clubs are grouped regionally into approximately 530 Rotary districts.

The Rotary Foundation (TRF), Rotary’s philanthropic arm, awards grants for Rotarian-sponsored scholarships, humanitarian projects, and vocational training teams.Find out more at rotary.org
The Scholarship

The Rotary Scholarships for Water and Sanitation Professionals have been designed to promote long-term productive relationships between Rotarians and highly skilled water and sanitation professionals in their communities. Rotary scholars will benefit from the support they receive through regular contact with sponsoring Rotarians from their home country and the opportunity to interact with Rotarians in the Netherlands. After graduating, scholars’ expertise will be put to work improving water and sanitation conditions in their own community with a project the scholar and sponsoring Rotarians will design and implement together.

In addition, Rotary Foundation alumni are part of an extensive network of fellow Rotary scholarship recipients and Rotarians worldwide. Becoming involved with a local Rotary club and the alumni association allows scholars to stay connected to Rotary’s global community and resources.
