Beneficiaries:

Many of the beneficiaries who, over the years, have received Rowe Fund loans have gone on to occupy top positions in their countries' public sectors, academia, the arts, and business.  The interest-free loans provided by the Rowe Fund have supported the cultural enrichment that training abroad provides to students and the potential benefits that this training may bring to their countries.  In the words of Senator J. William Fulbright,

"Educational exchange can turn nations into people, contributing as no other form of communication can to the humanizing of international relations.  Man's capacity for decent behavior seems to vary directly with his perception of others as individual humans with human motives and feelings, whereas his capacity for barbarism seems related to his perception of an adversary in abstract terms, as the embodiment, that is, of some evil design or ideology."
