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 3,800 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.
🌍 Meet the Class of 2026–2027!
From Brazil to the North Georgia mountains, meet Thomas Tanabe, our GRSP scholar spending this year at Young Harris College ! Thomas is bringing a piece of Brazil with him to Georgia while embracing everything his GRSP year has to offer—from discovering his new college community to sharing a little of the culture, traditions and experiences that make him who he is. 🌎✨We are incredibly grateful to the Rotary Club of Clayton GA, Rotary Club of Gilmer, Rotary Club of Lake Chatuge and Rotary Club of Union County Georgia for coming together to sponsor Thomas and help make this opportunity possible. Your generosity helps create connections between people and cultures and continues GRSP’s 80-year tradition of peace through understanding and bringing nations together. 🤝🌍 We’re excited to follow Thomas’s journey and see the connections, friendships and memories he makes along the way! 💙
