Georgia Rotary Student Program
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!
