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 Denmark to Columbus, Georgia, meet Ellen-Sofie Pranger Rasmussen, our GRSP scholar at Columbus State University .💙 Ellen-Sofie brings a fun, resilient, and adventurous spirit to our GRSP family. Back home in Denmark, she spent 10 years as a dedicated scout earning all kinds of badges—including the impressive Viking Badge, which she earned by wearing shorts every single day for an entire year through the chilly Danish weather! 🥶🩳 Now, under the warm Georgia sun, she is enjoying campus life at CSU (complete with views of the iconic Clock Tower) and making the most of every moment studying and connecting in Columbus. A special thank you to the Muscogee- Columbus Rotary Club ! Your warm hospitality, heartfelt mentorship, and dedication to our scholars make her Georgia home so special while continuing 80 years of peace, friendship, and cultural connection through GRSP. 💙 We are so glad you’re part of our GRSP family, Ellen-Sofie! 🌎✨
