Rae Jeanne Schilling, Abbotsford, has been awarded a Graduate Fellowship from the Rotary Foundation of Rotary International for the 1973-74 school year. Under terms of the award, she will seek admission to the Catholic University of Nijmegen, The Netherland, where she will study counseling.

Miss Schilling obtained her B.S. degree at the University of Wisconsin, Eau Claire. This year she will be attending graduate school full time. Miss Schilling is a member of the Manasa Mental Health Club.

One of more than 500 young men and women who recently received education awards from the Rotary Foundation, Miss Schilling was sponsored by the Rotary Club of Eau Claire. Arthur W. Jaehnke is president of the club, one of more than 15,400 Rotary clubs in 149 countries and geographic regions.

The Rotary Foundation was created by Rotary International to provide education and vocational study programs for qualified young people in countries other than their own. Award recipients are expected to strive for academic excellence while serving as ambassadors of good will through contacts with Rotary clubs and others in the host country.

Students receive funds from the Foundation to cover costs of round trip transportation, tuition, meals, lodging, intensive language training, and educational travel during the year abroad.

The Foundation is supported by contributions from individual Rotarians and Rotary clubs throughout the world. Since 1947, more than 5,400 men and women have pursued studies in a new cultural environment at a cost of more than $14.5 million.

This year, 528 students will participate in graduate, undergraduate, technical training, and teachers of the handicapped programs at a cost of approximately $2.8 million.

In addition to education awards, special programs are available for business and professional men through international group study exchanges.

Rotary International is a world association of clubs whose members, 723,000 business and professional men, accept the ideals of friendship, fellowship, and service in their personal and community lives.
