Edina Rotary Global Scholars
Explore the World, Inspire Change
The Edina Global Scholars Program empowers students to become curious, compassionate, and engaged global citizens. Beginning as early as ninth grade, students embark on a multi-year journey of learning, service, leadership, and cultural exploration that helps them better understand both their local community and the wider world. Through meaningful experiences and a culminating capstone project, students develop the skills to address complex challenges, build connections across differences, and create positive change. Graduates of the program may receive special recognition and scholarship opportunities.
