PROGRAM OBJECTIVES for Ambassadorial Scholarships

The Ambassadorial Scholarships program supports the mission of The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International to further world under-standing and peace by:

• Increasing awareness of and respect for cultural differences by sending ambassadors of goodwill to study in another countrytrans 2010 11 ROTARY FOUNDATION


AMBASSADORIAL SCHOLARSHIP and College Loan APPLICATION OPEN
• Instilling in scholars the Rotary ideal of Service Above Self through active participation in Rotary service projects
• Encouraging scholars to dedicate their personal and professional lives to improving the quality of life for the people of their home communities and countries
• Developing leaders who can address the humanitarian needs of the world community
• Impacting all areas of the world through a balanced geographical distribution of scholars
• Encouraging Rotarians worldwide to increase the educational opportunities for scholars from low-income countries
• Fostering a lifelong association between Rotary and its scholars
Candidates should consider these program objectives carefully before applying for the scholarships and college loan and be prepared to explain in their essays and during the interview process how their study plans will support the objectives. For example, scholars can contribute to impacting all areas of the world through balanced geographical distribution of scholars by being flexible in their preferred study institutions. Scholars are encouraged to request to study in countries that host relatively few scholars, such as Japan, Korea, Scandinavia, and developing nations in Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, and South America. Other ways of demonstrating support of the objectives include a commitment to community service or international humanitarian service and to long-term involvement with Rotary International.

Scholars who have received the scholarships or college loan are encouraged to support program objectives by choosing a study field that will help address the humanitarian needs of the world community, such as health care, children at risk, concern for the aging, literacy and numeracy, population issues, urban concerns, disabled persons, international understanding and goodwill, poverty and hunger, PolioPlus, or environmental awareness. Studies related to Rotary International’s Menu of Service Opportunities are also encouraged. (See www.rotary.org for details.)

Rotary seeks out students who are prepared for the challenge of serving as outstanding ambassadors of goodwill. If you receive an Ambassadorial scholarships or college loan, you will be expected to participate in the following activities:

• Attend any orientation programs organized by your sponsor and host Rotary districts; failure to attend may result in forfeiture of the award. Orientation will include training on how to develop and make presentations. (See www.rotary.org for further details on scholarships and college loan.)

Yangon’s Hero, Wielding Power of Stop and Go

By THOMAS FULLER NOV. 21, 2014 Sgt. Khin Myint Maung directing cars in Myanmar’s largest city, where his accolades are also an indictment of others’ corruption. Credit Tomas Munita for The New York Times YANGON, Myanmar — For 12 hours nearly every day, Sgt. Khin Myint Maung stands in one of the most chaotic intersections in this chronically gridlocked city, untangling traffic snarls with patience and unflagging good humor. It is not the most likely résumé for a recipient of a hero of the year award from a leading daily newspaper, or designation as a “role model” officer by the Yangon police force or a “real-life hero” by a German foundation. But the 26-year-old from the provinces, only recently promoted to sergeant, has earned all those awards, rising to fame purely by word of mouth. It is nearly impossible to find a taxi driver in Yangon who does n...
