A Proud Moment for Rotaract Club of Edinburgh!

A wonderful evening at the Rotary Club of Edinburgh meeting as our very own Rotaract Club of Edinburgh Secretary, Ashton Knatz, joined the club as a speaker and shared her inspiring journey. 💙

ROTARY HELPING TALENTED YOUNG PEOPLE!
For over 80 years Rotary has been quietly (but very effectively!) helping young people advance their knowledge and skills by studying abroad.
Rotary Global Grant Scholarships was just one initiative established as part of Rotary's broader mission to foster goodwill among nations following World War II.
Global Grant Scholarships are for graduate students who wish to further their studies abroad in one of Rotary’s areas of focus:
1. Promoting peace�2. Fighting disease�3. Providing clean water, sanitation, and hygiene�4. Improving maternal and child health�5. Supporting education�6. Growing local economies�7. Protecting the environment
The Rotary Club of Edinburgh hosts one Global Grant Scholar each year and it was great to receive an update, at last week’s meeting, from Ashton Knatz, our Global Grant Scholar for year 2025-26.
Ashton, who previously studied environmental sciences at the University of Iowa, has been studying at the University of Edinburgh for a Master of Science in Environmental Sustainability.
She has particularly focused on behavior change, believing this to be an area critical to society achieving meaningful environmental improvements. Ashton is now planning to make her career in this vitally important field.
Ashton has played a huge role in our club this year, where she has made many friends, and we wish her all the very best in the future!
If you would like to help young people achieve their full potential, then why not consider joining Rotary!
