Edina Rotary Global Scholars Pathway
The Rotary Global Scholar Program is a three-year program in which students develop global competency skills that enhance college, career, and civic readiness post-graduation. This program will encourage and inspire Edina students to prepare for global careers through the depth of study, community partnerships, mentoring, peer collaboration, cultural experience, and innovation. This program is intended to begin in sophomore year and continue through their senior year but can be completed in fewer years. Students in the program achieve fluency in a world language, complete relevant coursework, get involved in the Rotary Club, engage in a global experience, and complete a Capstone Project.
