Ambassadoria Scholarships

Rotary’s Ambassadorial program is the largest privately funded scholarship program in the United States. André Mechelynck [ma-chel-ink] is a native of Belgium and one of the original Ambassadorial scholars. The scholarship gave him the opportunity to study in the U.S., paving the way for a career as a leader of Pugwash. Pugwash is an international organization that shared the Nobel Peace Prize in 1995 with Joseph Rotblat for their efforts to diminish the part played by nuclear arms in international politics.
