TIP: Your local Rotary club can assist you in establishing a relationship with your district. Use Club Finder to find the club that is closest to you. For candidates who have district support, club interviews and recommendations are strongly encouraged but not essential.

In November, you will receive notification of the selection results. If you are awarded a fellowship, you will be informed of which Peace Center you will be studying at.
Apply to the university where your Peace Center is located for admission. The fact that you were chosen for the fellowship does not imply that you have been accepted to the university.
