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.
🐝Student Spotlight: A Goal-Oriented Journey: Meet Catalina Segura!🐝
Catalina Segura Vargas is a Georgia Rotary Student Program Class of 2025-2026 scholar from Costa Rica. Catalina is currently finishing her fourth year at Georgia Tech , where she is pursuing a degree in Industrial Engineering and preparing for her Spring graduation. Standing in front of the historic Tech Tower—one of the university's original academic buildings—Catalina shared that while she may only be five feet tall, her passion for the soccer field is anything but small. Her drive, academic focus, and infectious energy make her a standout representative of our international student community as she nears the finish line of her undergraduate journey.
We extend our sincere gratitude to the Rotary Club of Peachtree City for their generous sponsorship of Catalina. Their support has allowed this dedicated student to thrive in the heart of Atlanta, fostering the cross-cultural connections and understanding that remain at the core of the GRSP mission. We can’t wait to see the incredible things Catalina achieves as she steps into her career as a Georgia Tech and GRSP alumna!
