The awards reward individuals who show “strong leadership skills in the Hispanic community, technical community, and academic community. All candidates must have strong commitment and involvement in the Hispanic community.”

Apply to the ambassadorial scholarship for a chance to study abroad to learn, as well as educate, about other cultures. Selected students will serve as goodwill ambassadors to the host country and are required to give presentations about their home country. Locations of study are determined based on the student’s language proficiency. Students cannot apply to be ambassadors in a city in which they have previously lived or studied for 6 months. In addition to the Ambassador Scholarship, the Rotary club offers other scholarship opportunities. Please consult their website for details.
