Rotary World Peace Fellows are chosen based on their ability to have a significant, positive impact on world peace and conflict resolution during their future careers.

About the Duke-UNC Rotary Center for International Studies:
In 2002, the Rotary Foundation established six Rotary Centers for International Studies for peace and conflict resolution to provide advanced educational opportunities for a group of Rotary World Peace Fellows chosen each year from various countries and cultures. The goal of these Centers is to advance knowledge and world understanding of peace and conflict issues among potential future leaders of government, business, education, media, and other professions. Duke University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) proudly co-host one of these six Rotary Centers for International Studies.

The Duke-UNC Rotary Center for International Studies program is jointly managed by the Duke Center for International Development (DCID) and the University Center for International Studies (UCIS) at UNC. A maximum of ten Rotary World Peace Fellows join the Center each fall, up to five at Duke’s Program in International Development, and up to five in UNC’s masters’ programs under various relevant departments. Rotary World Peace Fellows will follow an interdisciplinary program consisting of

(a) their primary field of studies in such areas as (i) international development policy offered under Duke’s Program in International Development Policy (PIDP), a two-year interdisciplinary training program in policy analysis and sustainable development issues, or (ii) international education, political science, public health, social work or other academic disciplines offered by the Department to which they are admitted at UNC. and

(b) the peace and conflict resolution field with emphasis on conflict prevention, international cooperation, human rights and democracy building.

Applicants to Duke and UNC must hold an undergraduate degree from an accredited college or university or its international equivalent (based on a four-year curriculum), with an average of B or better for the last two years of study. They should also have at least 3 years of professional experience. Applicants are required to complete the Duke or UNC graduate school application and submit relevant documents, including official academic transcripts, letters of recommendation, written statements outlining the purpose of their study, and TOEFL and in the case of UNC, their GRE scores. U.S. citizens are not eligible to study at the Rotary Centers in the United States. Members of Rotary Clubs and their dependents are ineligible for this scholarship program.
