GRSP has just published an international cookbook!
Try a new recipe for the holidays!

Lois Zellman, wife of Anton Zellman, 2013-14 District Governor nominee, and Merrelyn Lewis, have created “Favorites from Around the World,” a cookbook featuring students’ family recipes. “What better way to bring people together than through something we all share, our love for a good meal. And what an opportunity to learn more about the GRSP students through the foods that remind them of home and family,” said Lois Zellman. Proceeds will benefit GRSP. Each book is $20, including shipping and handling.

GRSP Students add international flair to
Armstrong Atlantic State University

For Maria Isabella Olmos, an 18-year-old freshman from Barranquilla, Colombia, the opportunity to study economics at Armstrong on a Georgia Rotary Student Program scholarship is, quite literally, a dream come true. “If it weren’t for the Rotary scholarship program, I wouldn’t be here,” she explained. “It’s an amazing program. I’m really grateful.”

One of four international students currently attending Armstrong on a one-year Georgia Rotary Student Program scholarship, Maria Isabella plans to continue her studies, eventually earning a master’s degree and Ph.D. in economics. “I really like my professors and the ambiance of Armstrong,” she said. “In Colombia, we don’t have residence halls and student life. Living in a dorm, having a roommate and speaking English all the time is a big change for me, but I’m really enjoying it.”

Additional Rotary scholarship students currently on campus for the 2011-2012 academic year include Maja Cronert from Sweden, Eevi Haonpera from Finland and Zsofia Puskely from Hungary. Each of these international students brings a wealth of experience, knowledge and insight to the Armstrong community.

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.
