扶輪大學教師獎助金計劃提供機會讓現任或退休的高等教育的教師們到本國以外開發中國家講學。雖然扶輪社的社員是不需要申請，然獎助金受獎者仍然可能是扶輪社員。

The Rotary Grants for University Teachers provide opportunities for current or retired higher-education faculty members to teach at univer­sities in developing countries (other than their own). Grant recipients may be Rotarians, although membership in a Rotary club is not re­quired to apply.

大學教師獎助金成功範例

Success Stories

Quintin Doromal博士是從美國維吉妮亞(第7570地區)來的2001-02年度大學教師獎助金，在菲律賓(第3860地區) Silliman大學講授心理學時，扮演一位親善大使的角色。教授Doromal 安排當地扶輪社捐獻醫療用品給Silliman大學醫療中心。Doromal博士不僅僅只是一貫地訪問當地扶輪社與講課之外，他也促進了國際親善和透過於其地主國內之Silliman大學附設國小六年級班級與其家鄉的大馬士革中學發展一種網際網路筆友來建立彼此文化間之橋樑。

2001-02 University Teacher Dr. Quintin Doromal, from Virginia, USA (District 7570), played the role of a true ambassador of goodwill while teaching psychology at Silliman University in the Philippines (District 3860). Professor Doromal arranged with the local Rotary club to donate medical supplies to the Silliman University Medical Center. Not only did Dr. Doromal consistently visit the local Rotary clubs and give lectures, he also promoted international goodwill and bridged cultures by developing an Internet pen-pal program with the sixth grade classes of Silliman University Elementary School in his host country and Damascus Middle School in his home state.

Yede Dennis教授，是由美國新澤西Nutley扶輪社(第7470地區)所贊助的2001-02年度大學教師獎助金，她前往(第9100地區)迦納大學牙醫學院任教三個月。當Dennis教授描述她的服務期間的〝保健任務〞是由預防性牙科治療和教育老年牙醫學方面的所需所組成，並在迦納大學牙醫學院作教育活動和臨床服務上的簡報。Yede不但活躍於扶輪社也積極於當地教會和學校。她業已對擔任新澤西州South Plainfield扶輪社社長感興趣。

Professor Yede Dennis, a 2001-02 University Teacher, was sponsored by the Rotary Club of Nutley, New Jersey, USA (District 7470), to teach for three months at the University of Ghana Dental School (District 9100). Her “health mission,” as Professor Dennis describes her service term, consisted of educating individuals on preventive dental care and the need to teach geriatric dentistry, and reporting on educational activ­ities and clinical services that were provided at the University of Ghana Dental School.

歐拉帕麗Deepa Ollapally博士在第7540地區（美國賓州）的贊助之下在1996年8月啟程往印度，與班嘉洛Bangalore大學（第3190地區）的學生分享她在美國外交政策及國際政治方面的專業知識。到了印度之後，她把活動範圍擴大到講堂之外。她參加了一個非營利的教育組織，以推廣用有創意的方式進行學校、家長、以及社區之間的對話，並和當地扶輪社員在各種社區計劃進行合作。她特別推崇他們與印度癌症學會合作設立救濟院的計劃，因此她也發起一個提供建材給住在班嘉洛車站附近的違建戶的計劃。回國之後，她充分運用在班嘉洛醫學界的人脈，擔任贊助地區與印迪蘭納加Indiranagar扶輪社之間的連絡人，協助一項提供狂犬病疫苗給當地社區的計劃。

Dr. Deepa Ollapally, sponsored by District 7450 (Pennsylvania, USA), shared her expertise in American foreign policy and international poli­tics with students at Bangalore University (District 3190) in India. She extended her activities beyond the classroom, becoming involved in a nonprofit educational organization to promote greater dialogue among schools, parents, and the community in creative ways, and collaborat­ing with her host Rotarians in various community projects. Their efforts to establish a hospice in conjunction with the Indian Cancer Society inspired her, in turn, to initiate a project to provide better housing mate­rials to squatters living near the Bangalore train station. After returning to the USA, Ollapally made use of her Bangalore medical contacts and served as a liaison between her sponsor district and the Rotary Club of Indiranagar in Bangalore on a project to provide antirabies vaccine to the local community.

She left for Ghana in May 2003 and taught at Kumasi Nurses Training College until August 2003. She was assigned to teach a course on nursing research, another one on the principals of nursing, and a course on leadership. While in Ghana, Marian was awarded the “Certificate of Honour” by the local Rotaract club in appreciation of her time and commitment to service. She attended virtually all club meetings at the Rotary Club of Kumasi East and wrote a Matching Grant proposal with this club to help refurbish the HIV/AIDS Counseling Unit of the Kumasi Okomfo Anokye Teaching Hospital. She came home with letters from the Rotary Club of Kumasi, the Nurses Training College and the Kumasi hospital all praising her for her involvement and all emphasizing how much she accomplished in just three months!

Suggested Discussion Topics

 • 如何使大學教師獎助金計劃充分發揮潛力

• How the Rotary Grants for University Teachers program can reach its full potential

雖然這項計劃正在達成其目標，有幾項因素限制了這項計劃的潛力，使其無法獲致更大的成功。這些因素包括缺乏地主國家需要哪些特定科目的教師的資訊、教學需求對外宣傳不夠、贊助地區招募教師時所遭遇的困難、以及參與的贊助地區為數很少。各扶輪社及地區應瞭解，招募大學教師獎助金申請者需要投入相當的時間，才能將地區的資源與低收入國家地區的需求搭配在一起。鼓勵對贊助大學教師獎助金感興趣的地區要與合格的教師候選人可能任教區域的學院和大學發展出堅強通信和關係。

While this program is meeting its objectives, several factors limit its potential for far greater success. These include absence of clearly specified and well-publicized teaching needs in host countries, recruiting difficulties in sponsor districts, and a small number of participating sponsor districts. Clubs and districts should recognize that recruiting applicants for Rotary Grants for University Teachers will require a time investment in matching the resources in their district with the needs of districts in low-income countries. Districts interested in sponsoring University Teachers are encouraged to develop strong communications and relationships with colleges and universities in their area where qualified candidates may be teaching.

 • 扶輪社如何參與

• How clubs can get involved

透過招募申請者；對將出國講學的教師提供輔導；鼓勵扶輪社員擔任來訪的大學教師的當地顧問；邀請將出國、來訪以及返國的大學教師到社內演講以及參加社裡的計劃。

Clubs get involved by recruiting applicants, providing orientation for outbound teachers, encouraging club members to serve as host advisers for visiting University Teachers, and by inviting outbound, visiting, and returned university teachers to present club programs and participate in club projects.
