Rotary minute: Ambassadorial Scholarship. 40 - AMBASSADORIAL SCHOLARSHIPS The Rotary Foundation Ambassadorial Scholarships Program is the world's largest privately funded international scholarships program. Since 1947, approximately $242 million has been expended on some 25,000 scholarships for people from more than 125 countries, studying in 105 countries around the world.
The purpose of the Scholarships Program is to further international understanding and friendly relations among people of different countries.
Scholars are expected to be outstanding ambassadors of goodwill to the people of the host country through both informal and formal appearances before Rotary and non-Rotary groups.
The Rotary Foundation offers three types of scholarships
The Academic-Year Ambassadorial Scholarship offered since 1947.
The Multi-Year Ambassadorial Scholarship is awarded for two or three years of specific degree-oriented study abroad.
The Cultural Ambassadorial Scholarship provides three or six months of funding for intensive language study and cultural immersion in a language other than their native language.
Rotary Foundation scholarships are investments in the future and one important step in seeking greater understanding and goodwill in the world.

SPEAKER: Tristian Toleno. Farm to Plate Apprentice. Quote: Community is about conversations we hold with ourselves and how we choose to be together and recognizes community.
Opiate question and panhandling. Good to have these conversations. Lots of programs are already in place. Portugal delivers drug to people but offers help at the same time. We punish as an answer. And we have nothing to show for it. A call to action.
His cooking class. We are fundamentally interdependent. These students have barriers to participation in the workplace- teaches culinary skills to homeless people and underemployed people. This is a reset for them. It is to build confidence. Re-tell your own story. Meet them as human first. Not everyone will succeed. Barriers are hard. We are making a difference in people’s lives.
Once a year program. Gets support from Brattleboro Retreat. Group therapy. Groundworks is involved.
Run in the summer. Clients from Groundworks, elsewhere.
Students are paid while they learn.
VSAC money pays for the money. Tristian, Orly and Cindy do lots of volunteer work to run program.
We silo our solutions in this community…. HCRS does one thing, Groundworks does another. This is an integrated attempt to help a few people.
