Announcing District 5360’s 2024 Global Grant Scholarship Recipients
District 5360’s scholarship committee is pleased to introduce the two 2024 recipients of the Global Grant Scholarship. Ms. Samaya Miller, from High River, will do an MPhil in Development Studies at the University of Cambridge. While in England, her host club will be the Rotary Club of Ely Hereward, District 1080. Ms. Reeana Tazreean, from Calgary, will do a Master of Science in Bioethics at Harvard University in Cambridge. While in the United States, her host club will be the Rotary Club of Ipswich-Rowley.
Worth US$30,000, Global Grant scholarships are for full-time, in-person graduate study in one of The Rotary Foundation’s seven areas of focus by students from District 5360 at universities outside of Canada. These scholarships are fully funded by District 5360, with a World Fund match from TRF. For more information about this year’s recipients and past recipients of the scholarship, visit the district web site: https://www.rotary5360.ca/page/global-scholarship-funding, Application information and deadlines for the 2025 competition will be posted here in September.
Thanks to the members of the Rotary Club of High River who participated in the Global Grant for Samaya’s scholarship, and to those from Red Deer East who signed on to Reeana’s scholarship. Thanks also to the members of this district’s scholarship committee who participated in the selection process for these scholars: Sylvia Kennedy, Tom Keenan, Rob Kelham, Randy Smith, Sheila Tyminski, PDG Kurt Kowalchuk, and past scholarship recipient, Mairéad Whelan.
