扶輪國際和平及衝突之解決研究中心是扶輪最新的教育計劃，並且是完成扶輪基金會之世界瞭解及和平使命的重要教育計劃優先工作項目。扶輪國際研究中心提供機會讓扶輪去塑造未來的社區，並藉著讓扶輪世界和平學者專注於飢餓、貧窮、人權議題、資源衝突與其他妨礙和平的研究來使世界領導人奉獻於和平工作。

The Rotary Centers for International Studies in peace and conflict resolution is Rotary’s newest educational program and a major educa­tional priority in achieving TRF’s mission for world understanding and peace. Rotary Centers provide Rotary an opportunity to shape future community and world leaders dedicated to working for peace by al­lowing scholars to focus on hunger, poverty, human rights issues, con­flict over resources, and other obstacles to peace.

•The difference between the Ambassadorial Scholarships and Rotary World Peace Scholarships

 Ambassadorial Scholars may study almost any subject during their scholarship. Rotary World Peace Scholars specifically focuse on international relations, peace studies, and conflict resolution.

-   Rotary World Peace Scholars are selected on a world-competitive basis.

-   Rotary World Peace Scholars study for two academic years in a master’s-level degree program. Academic-Year Ambassadorial Scholars study for one academic year and generally do not complete a degree during that period.

-   Rotary World Peace Scholars participate in an annual seminar as part of a curriculum developed by each Rotary Center.

常被問到的問題

Commonly Asked Questions

問：我的地區應撥配多少地區指定基金來支持扶輪世界和平學者？

Q: How much DDF should my district donate to support the Rotary World Peace Scholars?

答：地區指定基金的捐贈任何金額都歡迎。扶輪基金會鼓勵所有地區都捐贈一些金額來支持此一全球性的扶輪行動。任何地區若承諾自DDF每年捐獻25,000美元或每一不同年度捐獻50,000美元，以支持未來班级的的扶輪世界和平學者，將被表彰為「和平締造者」地區。基金會尤其鼓勵地區考慮把原本要給教育計劃使用，但卻未動用的地區指定基金，撥給扶輪世界和平學者使用。例如，每年將近有400萬美元的獎學金未動用（分享制度費用與獎學金學生實際支出的差額），最後都歸還給各個地區的地區指定基金帳戶。

A: DDF donations in any amount are welcome. All districts are encouraged to donate some amount to support this global Rotary effort. Districts that commit US$25,000 each year or $50,000 ev­ery other year in support of future classes of Rotary World Peace Scholars will be recognized as “Peacebuilder” districts. Districts are especially encouraged to consider allocating unspent DDF in­tended for Educational Programs. For example, every year nearly $4 million in unused scholarship funds (the difference between SHARE cost and actual scholar expenses) are credited back to indi­vidual DDF accounts.

問：如果我們所支持的學者經過世界性評比之後，並未列入70名受獎人之中，我們地區所捐獻的經費將會如何處理？

Q: What happens to the money my district contributes if the scholar we endorse is not one of the finalists on a world-competitive basis?

答：地區指定基金所捐獻的經費是要用來支持經過世界性評比挑選出來的整個扶輪世界和平學者班级，因此地區所捐出的DDF款項與其所支持的學者沒有關係。所以，如果所支持的候選人沒被選上，款項將不會退回給地區。這樣的資助方法將可保證選出全世界最好的候選人，無論他們的地區是否能資助他們參加為期2年的課程。

A: The money contributed from the DDF is intended to support the entire class of scholars selected on a world-competitive basis; therefore, a district’s DDF allocation is not connected to a specific scholar from that district. For that reason, the money will not re­vert back to the district if the candidate it endorses is not selected. This funding approach ensures that the top candidates worldwide are selected, regardless of whether their district can afford to fund them for the two-year program.

問：前大使獎學金學生有資格申請扶輪世界和平獎學金嗎？

Q: Are former Ambassadorial Scholars eligible to apply for a Rotary World Peace Scholarship?

答：有資格，但必須符合其他資格條件。

A: Yes, as long as they meet the other eligibility requirements.
