INTRODUCTION
Each year, the Commission for Educational Exchange between the United States of
America, Belgium and Luxembourg offers Fulbright awards for study, teaching or research in
the United States. The awards - approximately fifty - vary from round-trip travel to grants
covering all expenses for an academic year. Only students, teachers, research scholars and
lecturers who are citizens of Belgium are eligible for these grants and awards. Applications
from citizens of other EU Member States are accepted for the Fulbright-Schuman program
(US-EU affairs) only.
In awarding the grants, the Commission’s Board of Directors gives priority to candidates who
are pursuing projects that will be of lasting benefit to the grantee and his or her country.
The candidates must:





demonstrate academic excellence;
be individually interviewed in English;
be apt to benefit from the academic opportunity offered to them;
have ambassadorial qualities;
and be good representatives of their own country while they are in the United States.
Since one of the fundamental purposes of the Fulbright exchange program is to increase
understanding between the peoples of the countries involved, the Board of Directors gives
preference to candidates who have had no significant opportunity to live in the United States.
Grantees are expected to return to their own country upon completion of the project for
which the award was made.

Rotary Scholarships
The Rotary Foundation offers three types of scholarships: Academic-Year Ambassadorial
Scholarship; the Multi-year Ambassadorial Scholarship and the Cultural Ambassadorial
Scholarship. The first two grants are open to everyone except "...for unsupervised research,
medical internship or residency, or for employment on a full-time basis in the host country."
In all cases, the Rotary Foundation Trustees assign candidates to an institution. More
information about Rotary may be found on the Rotary Web site: http://rotary.belux.org
The general requirements stipulate that a student must have completed at least two years of
university course work, be a candidate in practical training or a vocational field, must have a
high school diploma and must have worked for at least two years in a recognized vocation.
The three types of scholarships are:
1. Academic Year Ambassadorial Scholarship
One academic year (9 months). The grant of a maximum of $22,000 covers round-trip
transportation between the home and host country; a month of intensive English if required
by Rotary; fees for books & supplies; minimum living costs and limited incidentals.
2. Multi-year Ambassadorial Scholarship
Two or 3 years depending on availability through the sponsoring sector. The grant of
$11,000 per year is designed to meet costs of enrolling in and attending a university. The
student must go to a university that offers a program directly in relation to his/her field of
study.
3. Cultural Ambassadorial Scholarship
Candidates must have studied English for at least one year at the university level. The grant
covers a 3 or 6 month period, depending on availability of funding through the sponsoring
agency. A period of three months is attractive for those who have reached a certain
knowledge in the language. The six month term is appropriate for a candidate who wishes to
study a language presenting a high level of difficulty. The grant of $10,000 (3 months) and
$17,000 (6 months) covers round-trip transportation to and from the applicant's country,
tuition, fees, limited living expenses.

Rotary clubs to determine if and what kind of scholarships are available, to ask about local
application deadlines, and to obtain application materials." Candidates or their families may

to the Rotary Club in your area (see local phone book). Candidates from District 217 must
apply by November 15 (2 years prior to departure).
