Requirements for Submitting an
Application
to the Georgia Rotary Student
Program
We are now accepting applications for the 2009-2010 school year.
|
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. There
are a limited number of graduate scholarships.
Students submitting applications should be truthful and
forthcoming. Misrepresentation on an application may exclude a student
from participating in the Georgia Rotary Student Program.
