Could this work in our club?
- Rotary scholarship alumni, scholarship administrators, host clubs and current scholars. Use when the scholarship authority can verify alumni records and permitted uses.
Before you start
- Program-specific data ownership, cross-border contact and retention rules reviewed.
- No scholarship, hardship, health or immigration details reused without fresh consent.
- Engagement menu includes private and non-public options.
At the end: Provide a preference centre and human contact in the first message; report aggregate alumni contribution annually without exposing individual scholarship circumstances.
