International Summer School Scholarships
Announced for 2013

Each year the Norwegian Rotary Advisory Board offers three scholarships to Georgia students in appreciation
for all the Norwegian students who have come to Georgia through GRSP. 

While the immediate goal of this International School is to impart knowledge about some aspects of Norway, it also seeks to increase the understanding and good will among nations through daily living together. Each district is awarded one scholarship and we are proud to announce this year’s winners:

What is the 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! 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.
