This program is one-of-a-kind. We have been bringing nations together since 1946. The program began with only 4 scholars, and now we are proud to say that we have more than 3,692 alumni from all over the world. The program’s purpose is to broaden the understanding of world peace through people and that is exactly what we’ve done.

Being a part of the Georgia Rotary Student Program has been one of the most profound experiences of my life. This program has afforded me the opportunity to forge lasting friendships with people from diverse backgrounds and experiences. This, perhaps, is the greatest gift that one can hope to get for it allows us to see through differences across cultures and instead find similarities between one another. I feel that such fellowship across participants, both students and host families, is what made this program such an enriching experience for me.

Since 1946, Rotarians in Georgia, USA, have promoted world peace through understanding by offering ambassadorial scholarships to international students for one year cultural immersion and of study in Georgia colleges and universities.
Each year, students from all over the world make friends in 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 students become adopted members of a Georgia “host family,” living on-campus at the school they attend. This is an ambassadorial scholarship program, not an exchange!
Georgia Rotary Clubs sponsor students recommended by a Rotary Club in their home country.
Thankful for Southern hospitality and a great student weekend. 💙🙌🌍 ... See MoreSee Less

From the food to the forest fields and the new friends made in between going from Pelham High School, Pebble Hill Plantation, Gentian Creek Preserve, Hays LTI agricultural equipment, the Mitchell County Tennis Center to the Mitchell County Ag Center, the 59th Annual Larry Frosteg Pelham International Weekend made memories for a lifetime. Our Georgia Rotary Student Program scholars were welcomed by amazing hosts from the
Rotary Club of Pelham, Camilla Rotary Club and Rotary Club of Thomasville as they spent time touring the nearby South Georgia counties while visiting with one another. The last day started with a pair of service projects along with Rotary District 6900 Governor Gordon Owens and his wife Ashley, relaxing at the Eubanks farm and ended with the Pelham Club honoring Kathy Frosteg and President Vince with a dedication to GRSP Trustee Emeritus Larry Frosteg as well as a variety show featuring the talented young adults.

Tom Siemann’s perspective has provided him both an amazing view of the North Georgia mountains as well as connections. Tom, 23 from Germany, is studying to become an English and History teacher at Piedmont University, where he enjoys a beautiful campus, north Georgia landscapes and smaller class sizes. He claims the smaller class sizes as the reason the interaction between students and the professor is so much better.
“I am very grateful for the wonderful and welcoming people I have met so far,” Tom said in reference to his GRSP year. “My host family has really become like family to me, especially their kids. Everybody, at Rotary and at Piedmont, welcomed me with open arms and made it very easy so settle in. It feels like I really got the chance to experience the American way of life. I discovered that American football is very interesting, I even got to see a real (University of Georgia) Bulldogs Match. Go Dawgs!”
Tom is sponsored by the rotary Clubs of Habersham and Banks Counties
