2026/27 Rotary Peace Fellowships To Study in USA, UK, Australia

The Rotary Peace Fellowships are fully funded postgraduate fellowships awarded each year by The Rotary Foundation to outstanding professionals committed to peace and development. The fellowship supports candidates pursuing Master’s degrees and professional certificate programs at premier universities in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia.

Each year, The Rotary Foundation awards up to 50 fellowships for Master’s degree programs and up to 80 fellowships for certificate studies. The Rotary Peace Fellowship is designed for leaders with professional experience in peace and development who are dedicated to community and international service.

Master’s degree fellows study peace and development issues through research-informed teaching within a diverse academic environment. These programs last between 15 and 24 months and include a two- to three-month field study designed by the fellows themselves.

The professional development certificate program is a one-year blended learning program intended for working professionals. Fellows gain practical skills to promote peace within their communities and regions, complete field studies, and design and carry out a social change initiative. Upon completion, fellows earn a postgraduate diploma. IELTS is not required.
