The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International is the largest source of privately-funded international scholarships. Each year, some 1,300 primarily young adults study at a college or university in another land. While abroad, Rotary scholars serve as youth ambassadors. For example, a scholar from Wyoming, USA while studing art in Chile worked with developmentally disabled children to create a 60 foot mural.

A scholar from South Africa worked with adolescents from troubled homes at a Connecticut, USA psychiatric hospital. Each year, some 7,000 secondary school students between the ages of 15-19 visit or study in another country through Rotary's youth exchange program. Youth exchange students live in Rotarians homes and experience first-hand life, culture, and education in another country to promote international understanding among young people.

Clubs also equip young people with the tools they need to learn. Primary school students in Klana, Croatia are learning computer technology with computers provided by Rotarians in their country and Florida, USA The children, many of whom are Bosnian refugees, are using the computers to learn English, complete math, science and history lessons, create artwork, and read books.

In Bolivia, the Rotary Club of Cochabamba Norte built three libraries in low-income neighborhoods to increase literacy and reading skills. Through Rotary’s World Community Service program, Rotarians are linked with needy schools and often supply textbooks, desks, and other resources.
