·         Virtually all costs (worth around $20,000!) are met by the Rotary Clubs of Georgia, including all course fees, accommodation, books and some regular pocket money.  The only relatively small costs which require to be met by families are flights, health insurance cover, VISA and SAT (Student Aptitude Test) costs.

·         The first step in being considered for a Georgia placement is to let your identified teacher (head, depute, form/guidance teacher, etc) know that you wish your name to be put forward to your local Rotary Club as a likely applicant.  The Rotary Club will then contact you directly, or through your school, soon thereafter.

·         There are several places available for Scottish students so do not hang back.  This is a very real opportunity to experience life in the States at minimal cost to yourself or family.  Over the last several years several schools in Rotary District 1020 have had young people out in Georgia at a range of University Colleges and they have had the experience of a lifetime.  YOU can be one of them in 2018-19!  Why not register an interest now and get on board.

·         YOU MUST LET YOUR TEACHER KNOW OF YOUR INTEREST IN APPLYING.  Further details are available from www.grsp.org – do have a look at what is on offer – no catches!
