Funding the program
Funding for the Rotary Peace and Conflict Studies Program comes from several sources:
- The Rotary Foundation Trustees provide the budget for the Foundation and Chulalongkorn University to administer the program.
- Rotary International districts donate money from the District Designated Fund to the Rotary Peace and Conflict Studies Fund Pool, from which the selection committee awards full or partial fellowships to a limited number of participants whose employers are unable to financially sponsor their participation in the program.
- Additional sponsorship is generously provided by the Swiss embassy in Thailand.
The Trustees have generously funded the first year of the program through the World Fund.
The Rotary Foundation provides round-trip airfare between program participants’ homes and Bangkok, Thailand.
