Information about each qualified applicant is made available to every Rotary Club in the state of Georgia. The various Rotary Clubs throughout the state choose the student they wish to sponsor as well as the school the student will attend. Criteria for selection is based on outstanding leadership qualities, excellent academic ability, and high moral standards, but each individual club has the final choice and the local club may include any other information they may want to consider including but not limited to hobbies, sex, cultural background, or career plans.
Students are not selected merely on academic achievement, but must meet the eligibility requirements of the school they will be attending. Students submitting applications should be truthful and forthcoming. Misrepresentation on an application may exclude a student from participating in the Georgia Rotary Student Program.
