Rotary Peace Fellows study at one of the 6 Rotary Peace Centers around the world and can either earn a professional development certificate in peace and conflict resolution or a master’s degree in international relations, public administration, sustainable development, peace studies or a related field. These fellowships cover tuition and fees, room and board, round-trip transportation, and all internship/field study expenses.

To apply for a peace fellowship, please download the Application Form available at:

Please complete the applicant portion of the Form and submit it via email to the Rotary Club of Thimphu at:

All communications to the Rotary Club of Thimphu may be addressed to:

Ms Sonam Zangmo, Assistant Executive Secretary


Other than one, there is no restrictions on who can apply - nor a limitation on the number of applications. The Rotary Club of Thimphu will be happy to receive and process all the applications it receives.

This is a community service of the Rotary Club of Thimphu and it is hoped that a large number of Bhutanese students and scholars will qualify for the scholarships.

Please rush the applications and BEST OF LUCK!

NOTE: Persons related to Club members are not eligible to apply for the scholarships.

  1. Sounds great but you should specify "related to Club members"...does this mean just immediate relatives or even someone remotely related to a Club member...a prospective applicant ... :-)

    1. Good question ... In truth, I don't know yet but intend to find out. I think it should be immediate relatives or direct dependents ... I will find out and clarify this in due course.

    2. WHAT ARE THE RESTRICTIONS?

      The following are not eligible for master’s degree fellowships. However, they may apply for the professional development program, but if selected, must pay for all costs associated with the program:

      Active and honorary Rotarians
      Employees of a Rotary club, Rotary district, Rotary International, or other Rotary entity
      Spouses, lineal descendants (children or grandchildren by blood or legal adoption), spouses of lineal descendants, or ancestors (parents or grandparents by blood) of any living person in the categories above
      Former Rotarians and their relatives as described above (within 36 months of resignation)
      Additionally, fellows in the professional development program or participants in Rotary’s former Ambassadorial Scholarships program must wait at least three years before they can apply for the master’s degree fellowship.

      Rotary Peace Fellows who have completed the master's degree program may not apply for the professional certificate program.
