Brooke has been selected as one of three Global Grant Scholars this year from District 5870. 
She was sponsored by the Rotary Club of Austin.  Brooke graduated with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Business Honors and a Bachelor of Arts in Plan II Honors and Economics Honors from the University of Texas at Austin in May 2021.

September will find Brooke attending the University of Oxford to pursue a Master of Science in Economics for Development on a full tuition scholarship.  She shared the following comments regarding how receiving the Rotary scholarship will enable her to achieve her goals; “I really hope to build a specialization in economic development while at Oxford.  After graduating I hope to use what I’ve learned to work in and eventually found my own social enterprise or nonprofit, focusing either in women’s rights and education or global clean water access. Going to Oxford simply would not be possible without the support of the Rotary Club and I am grateful beyond words. I deeply believe in service before self and hope to spend my life and career paying it forward through the work I hope to do and change I hope to make in the world.”

Victoria Texas is Brooke’s home.  The Rotary Club of Eynsham, Oxfordshire, District 1090, will be Brooke’s host club during her studies.  Each Global Grant Scholar must have a host Rotary Club in the area where their attending university is located.  

District 5870 is very proud of Brooke and looks forward to her accomplishments.  Your support of the Rotary Foundation made this scholarship possible.  Our support of The Rotary Foundation changes lives and does good in the world.
