The District Grant Committee will review all District Grant applications. These grants must be approved by the District Grant Committee Chair and the District Rotary Foundation Chair.
- District Grants are intended to support short-term humanitarian projects that benefit a local community and offer the Rotary Club an opportunity to have hands on non-Rotarian and, when possible, family participation.

Clubs may submit up to two applications but no more than one Vocational Scholarship per Rotary Club, may be awarded. (See District Vocational Scholarship Application for more details).
