In 1946, following World War II, Georgia Rotarians came together to create the Georgia Rotary Student Program (GRSP) – a unique scholarship program designed to bring college students from around the world to study in Georgia for one academic year (August through following May).

GRSP Scholars must be nominated by a Rotary Club in their home country, be single, be between the ages of 18 and 25 years of age, be able to pay for round-trip transportation and health insurance, meet the admission requirements to a Georgia college or university, and have $3,000.00 in spending money for incidentals. This cultural scholarship pays for tuition, matriculation fees, room and board, and a book allowance. Scholars attend one of 34 different colleges and universities in Georgia, and have Rotarians serving as their host families.

Since 1946, 3,193 students from Africa, Asia, Australia and New Zealand, Europe, and North and South America have studied in Georgia under the Georgia Rotary Student Program.
