General Information

Since 1946, Rotarians in Georgia, USA, have promoted world peace through understanding by offering scholarships to international students for one year of study in Georgia colleges and universities. Georgia Rotary Clubs sponsor students recommended by a Rotary Club in their home country. The students become adopted members of a Georgia "host family," but live on-campus at the school they attend. This is a scholarship program, not an exchange! Each year, about 80 students from all over the world make friends in the United States and other nations and learn about differing cultures and life styles. Georgia Rotarians believe "Peace is Possible" and through GRSP promote international goodwill through the bonds of friendship and understanding.

The scholarship covers one scholastic year, from August to May, and is for study in colleges and universities located in the State of Georgia.

The GRSP scholarship pays for tuition, book allowance, meals, and the college provided room.

Applicant must provide transportation from their home country to USA and return, medical insurance, $3,000 spending money, and any income taxes imposed by the government on the scholarship money.

To be eligible, applicants must be 18 years, but not 25 years, of age by August 1 the year studies begin, have not studied in the United States, and must be single.
