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!

Welcome to the SAV
Enzo Ferrarini’s life goal is to always improve and he believes there is always something more to learn. Enzo, 23 from Brazil is attending Georgia Gwinnett College and sponsored by the Rotary Clubs of Gwinnett County and Gwinnett Sunrise. He is enjoying his class in Leadership at GGC, and proclaims, “Being able to learn theoretical and practical skills with such a great professor and awesome resources makes me so happy.” His favorite aspect of his GRSP year so far is definitely the people. “Getting to know so many good people here who are willing to help you and having friends from all over the world is so incredible,” he said. “An experience only GRSP is able to make possible, so that’s why I appreciate Rotary and the program so much for this once in a lifetime opportunity!”
