2023/2024 Rotary/UNESCO-IHE
Scholarships for Water and Sanitation Professionals.
The strategic partnership between The Rotary Foundation (TRF) and IHE Delft Institute for Water Education aims to tackle the world’s water and sanitation crisis by increasing the number of trained professionals to devise, plan, and implement solutions in developing and emerging countries. Through this partnership, a limited number of scholarships are awarded annually to graduate students at IHE Delft Institute for Water Education’s campus in the Netherlands.
These scholarships are designed to promote long-term
productive relationships between Rotarians and highly skilled water and
sanitation professionals in their communities. Since the inception of the
partnership in 2012, some 150 scholarships have been awarded.
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 Rotary scholarship has been awarded, the sponsoring
Rotary Club maintains contact with the scholar throughout his or her studies.
The financing of the successful candidates will be managed through Rotary’s
Global Grant process.
