Since 1946, Rotarians in Georgia have promoted world peace through understanding by offering scholarships to international students for one year of study in Georgia colleges and universities. Georgia Rotary Clubs sponsor students recommended by a Rotary Club in their home country. The students become adopted members of a Georgia "host family," but live on-campus at the school they attend. This is a scholarship program, not an exchange! Each year, about 80 students from all over the world make friends in the United States and other nations and learn about differing cultures and life styles.
The Rotary Club of Pelham, GA has been big supporter of the GRSP program for over 40 years. In addition to the generous financial support of the program by our members, our club sponsors a GRSP student and hosts our International Weekend.
