The Rotary Foundation (TRF) and IHE Delft Institute for Water Education have formed a strategic partnership with the goal of addressing the global water and sanitation crisis by increasing the number of trained professionals who can develop, plan, and implement solutions in developing and emerging nations. Through this collaboration, a few scholarships are given out each year to graduate students at the campus of the IHE Delft Institute for Water Education in the Netherlands.
These grants are intended to foster enduring, fruitful connections between Rotarians and highly qualified water and sanitation specialists in their local areas. There have been over 150 scholarships given out since the partnership’s beginning in 2012.
The application process is as follows: Rotarians interview and select from local candidates who have already been admitted to the IHE Delft Institute for Water Education’s regular MSc Programme in Water and Sustainable Development, in one of the following thematic tracks:
Water and Health
Water Resources and Ecosystems Health
Water Hazards, Risks, and Climate
When a candidate is considered qualified, the sponsoring Rotary Club sends an application form to the joint Rotary/IHE Delft selection committee (together with the candidate) (details can be found below).
When a Rotary scholarship is given, the supporting Rotary Clubs stay in touch with the recipient throughout their academic career. The Rotary Global Grant method will be used to administer the funding for the chosen candidates.

About Rotary Scholarships
Recipients of this Rotary scholarship will profit from the assistance they get through routine communication with sponsor Rotarians from their home country and the chance to network with Rotarians in the Netherlands. Worldwide, Rotarians and scholarship recipients are connected by a vast network of Rotarian alumni. Scholars can stay linked to the worldwide community and resources of Rotary by getting engaged with a local Rotary Club and the alumni association.
