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’, living on-campus at the school they attend. This is an ambassadorial scholarship programme, not a student exchange.
Each year, students from all over the world make friends from the United States and other nations and learn about differing cultures and lifestyles. Georgia Rotarians believe “Peace is Possible” and through GRSP promote international goodwill through friendship and understanding.
The link below will guide students from District 9930 through the application process. Applicants will need to fund return travel to Georgia, USA, medical insurance, an estimated minimum of $4000 spending money, and any income taxes imposed by the college or university on the scholarship money.
Eligibility Requirements:
- Applicants must be at least 18 years of age by August 1 or must not have reached age 25 by August 1 of the scholastic year (NO EXCEPTIONS)
- Applicants who are married, or engaged to be married, will not be awarded a scholarship (NO EXCEPTIONS)
- Applicants who have previously studied in the USA for a period exceeding four months cannot be considered for a scholarship (NO EXCEPTIONS).
- Citizens and Dual Citizens of the United States are not eligible.
- Rotary District 9930 applicants must be sponsored by a Rotary club (clubs are not required to provide funding) and be approved by the District GRSP coordinator before making their application to GRSP
