Rae Jeanne Schilling, Abbotsford, has been awarded a Graduate Fellowship from
the Rotary Foundation of Rotary International for the 1973-74 school year. Under
terms of the award, she will seek admission to the Catholic University of
Nijmegen, The Netherland, where she will study counseling.
Miss Schilling obtained her B.S. degree at the University of Wisconsin, Eau
Claire. This year she will be attending graduate school full time. Miss
Schilling is a member of the Manasa Mental Health Club.
One of more than 500 young men and women who recently received education awards
from the Rotary Foundation, Miss Schilling was sponsored by the Rotary Club of
Eau Claire. Arthur W. Jaehnke is president of the club, one of more than 15,400
Rotary clubs in 149 countries and geographic regions.
The Rotary Foundation was created by Rotary International to provide education
and vocational study programs for qualified young people in countries other than
their own. Award recipients are expected to strive for academic excellence while
serving as ambassadors of good will through contacts with Rotary clubs and
others in the host country.
Students receive funds from the Foundation to cover costs of round trip
transportation, tuition, meals, lodging, intensive language training, and
educational travel during the year abroad.
The Foundation is supported by contributions from individual Rotarians and
Rotary clubs throughout the world. Since 1947, more than 5,400 men and women
have pursued studies in a new cultural environment at a cost of more than $14.5
million.
This year, 528 students will participate in graduate, undergraduate, technical
training, and teachers of the handicapped programs at a cost of approximately
$2.8 million.
In addition to education awards, special programs are available for business and
professional men through international group study exchanges.
Rotary International is a world association of clubs whose members, 723,000
business and professional men, accept the ideals of friendship, fellowship, and
service in their personal and community lives.
