The Sydney Peace Foundation, in partnership with Rotary International, is seeking expressions of interest for the Rotary Peace Fellowship. These Fellowships are designed for leaders with work experience in peace and development.

The fellows are committed to community and international service and the pursuit of peace. Each year, The Rotary Foundation awards up to 50 fellowships for master’s degrees and up to 80 for certificate studies at premier universities.

Annually, Rotary awards up to 130 fully funded fellowships for dedicated leaders from around the world to study at leading global peace centres.

Since the program began in 2002, the Rotary Peace Centres have trained more than 1,700 fellows who now work in over 140 countries. Many serve as leaders in governments; NGOs; education and research institutions; peacekeeping and law enforcement agencies; and international organizations like the United Nations and the World Bank.

The 2026-27 application will be available online in February 2025. However, we are seeking expressions of interest from potential candidates from 23rd September 2024.
