In addition to meetings and local events, the club
operates the Circumnavigators Club Foundation,
a nonprofit organization that promotes global
friendship and understanding. Since 1971, the
foundation has provided scholarships for more
than 106 university students to participate in
around-the-world travel-study projects the
summer before their senior year. Following an
application process that includes a proposed
itinerary, a detailed study proposal, and the
relevance of the project to the student’s field of
academic study, the foundation awards grants in
the amount of $9,000.

Many grant recipients have been able to
incorporate their travel projects into their
senior theses. Grants have been awarded to
students pursuing degrees in diplomacy as
well as a wide range of international careers
in business, public service, technology, and
the arts.
