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.

Leila Fleita Zain: One of the biggest stepping stones in my life…
When I was preparing to come for my year in Georgia, I knew this was going to be one of the biggest stepping stones in my life, and that made me tremble. I came with a lot of expectations, anxiety, and questions, but also with an open mind, open to new experiences....
Alice Rabeler’s Remarks at the 6920 Conference in 2005
Dear Rotarians,You invited me to speak about what the year on the Georgia Rotary Student Program has meant to me. This is a great honour and I am grateful to be here and to have an opportunity to explain how deep an impact this Georgia year has had on my life.And yet:...
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.
🌍💙 What does peace look like?
It looks like students from different countries sharing a meal, exploring a new community, laughing together, and becoming lifelong friends. Every year, GRSP scholars remind us that peace is built through understanding. For 80 years, the Georgia Rotary Student Program has helped create understanding between people, cultures, and nations through the simple but powerful act of friendship. Through partnerships with Rotary clubs across Georgia and around the world, GRSP creates opportunities for cultural exchange, meaningful connections, and friendships that transcend borders. Today, on the International Day of Peace, we celebrate the students, host families, Rotarians, coordinators, and alumni who continue to make that mission possible. Because when we bring nations together, we bring the world a little closer together, too. 🌎✨
