Project Description Region: Western Europe Country: Germany Location: Berlin - Hertie School Total Budget: $35,000 Area of Focus: Peacebuilding and conflict prevention The objective of the project is to obtain a Global Grant Scholarship for Samantha Reeves to attend the Hertie School to pursue a Master of International Affairs (MIA) degree, concentrating in International Security. At the Hertie School, she will also work with institutions such as the Centre for International Security where she will conduct research on diplomacyÃÆ'¢ââ₀šâ‚₀ââ₀žÂ¢s role in different statesÃÆ'¢ââ₀šâ‚₀ââ₀žÂ¢ national security strategies as well as conflict prevention and peacebuilding efforts. Her studies, research, and activities during the scholarship period will align with the RotaryÃÆ'¢ââ₀šâ‚₀ââ₀žÂ¢s area of focus on peacebuilding and conflict prevention. She plans to attend the Hertie School from August of 2026-August of 2028. Funding includes $16,667 from District 5440 DDF; $5000 from the Rotary Club of Cheyenne; $13,333 from RI Global Grant and $36489 from personal funds and grants from the applicant. The club has a small committee that has worked to take in an application for the Global Grant Scholarship and has worked to find an international sponsor and vet Samantha as an applicant. Samantha plans to present to the club (if time permits) both before she leaves and after returning from her program.

Proposed Financing Existing Contributions Towards This Project Date Cash DDF Total Cheyenne (5440) 30-Mar-26 $5,000 $16,667 $21,667 Amount Requested from The Rotary Foundation - $13,333 $13,333 Total $35,000 DDF contributions in grey are pending approval of the corresponding district committee. Note: as of July 1, 2015 there is a 5% additional support fee for cash contributions. This fee does not appear in the financials above because it does not apply if the funds are sent directly to the project account (without going through TRF, and therefore without Paul Harris credit). Clubs sending their cash contribution to TRF must be aware they will have to send an additional 5%.
