How to apply

Applications open on 17 March and close on 21 April 2022, or earlier if all places have been filled.
To apply for RAIC follow these instructions.

Step 1

Find a sponsor

First, you must find a Rotary Club in your area and ask them if they will sponsor you to attend. You must convince the sponsoring Club that you are very interested in the program and will get a lot out of it. The sponsoring Club has to be prepared to pay the $500 fee for you to attend RAIC.

Then, complete the forms following the detailed instructions on pages 1 and 2 of the Application Form. Have a head and shoulders digital photograph taken. Name it as described in the Application Form. Scan and save as PDF document and photo as JPEG. Click here to download the application forms.
