PROMOTING WORLD PEACE

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.

On Father’s Day weekend, GRSP salutes the Rotarians who stand in the gap as host dads, such as Chris Brazell of the North Columbus Rotary.
Katie Angell of Scotland, who just completed the Class of 2024-25 sponsored by North Columbus and
Muscogee- Columbus Rotary Club, declared Chris took her in as a daughter and made her feel at home for the entirety of her GRSP year.
“Without him and the entire Brazell family, I would not have experienced the true Southern hospitality right from landing in Atlanta up until my final couple months here in Georgia,” Katie said.
“Traveling across multiple states for family vacations will definitely be some favorite memories from the year. I will forever be thankful for what Chris has done for me!”
Serving as Katie’s host, Chris also welcomed Katie’s Columbus State University roommate Natália Del Ducca Corrêa Ferreira of Brazil, who was sponsored by the Rotary Club of Columbus, Ga. He said they came as a set!
May their bond be lifelong and include future trips to stay connected.

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.

GRSP 2013-14

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.
