The purpose of Rotary Foundation
Scholarships is to further international
understanding and friendly relations
between people of different countries.
Both men and women may apply for
one of the five types of Rotary Founda-
tion Scholarships to complete one
academic year of study or training in
another country where Rotary clubs
are located. During the time of study
abroad, Rotary Scholars are expected
to be outstanding ambassadors of
good will to the people of the host
country through both formal and
informal appearances before Rotary
Clubs and districts, school and civic
organizations, and other forums. After
the period of study has been comple-
ted, the scholar is expected to discuss
and share the experience of under-
standing acquired during the scholar-
ship year with the people of his/her
home country and the Rotarians who
sponsored the scholarship. The five
types of Rotary Foundation Scholar-
ships are:

Graduate Scholarships: for those who
will have received a Bachelor's degree
or its equivalent before the
commencement of scholarship duties.

Undergraduate Scholarships: for
those who are studying at the univer-
sily level but who will not have comple-
ted a Bachelor's degree before the
commencement of — scholarship
studies.

Vocational Scholarships: for those
who are secondary school graduates
and who have been employed or
engaged full-time in o vocation for at
least two years as of the application
deadline. Applicants must not be elig-
ible for a Graduate or Undergraduate
scholarship.

Teacher of the Handicapped Scholar-
ship: for those who have been
employed or engaged full-time as
teachers of the physically, mentally, or
educationally handicapped for at least
two years as of the application deadl-
ine.

 

Journalism Scholarships: for those
who have been employed in a full-time
position in print or broadcast journa-
lism for at least two years as of the

LIBRARY
END OF
SEMESTER SONNET

To all Douglas College Employees

At end of term, the Library undertakes
Our notices of overdues to type;

You surely understand how this will make
Our weary Library staff their eyes to wipe.

Around your office please do take a look
To search, to seek, to see what you may
find.

Lo! on the lowest shelf does lurk a book
And the due date only two months behind!

Be not afraid, because we will not fine,
And be assured our motives are quite pure.
It is the books we want, and on our line
We cast out our forgiveness as a lure.

Lo please do not make us type up a form;
Return your books, your welcome will be
warm.

The end of semester due date for
library materials is April 30, 1987
