match of DDF ($1.00:$1.00) or a 50 percent
match of cash contributions ($0.50:$1.00).
Scholarship Reporting

Rotarians of both primary sponsoring clubs
must complete a progress or final report through
Member Access every 12 months, from the date
of payment for the duration of the scholarship.
The due date for reports can be found in
Member Access.
 Grant sponsors must upload bank statements
that show the initial receipt of grant funds from
The Rotary Foundation and all subsequent
Foundation payments of grant funds.
Scholarship Reporting
 Sponsoring Rotarians must answer questions in
the report from their point of view, not the
scholar’s.
 If the scholarship is club sponsored, the current
club presidents must authorize the report once it
has been completed. If the scholarship is district
