The Rotary Clubs of Georgia’s Rotary District 6900 are preparing to award eight scholarships to local Georgia high school students to study abroad during the 2019–2020 academic year as part of the Rotary Youth Exchange Scholarship Program.

Each of the eight scholarships is valued at $24,000 and includes tuition, room, board and a monthly stipend to study at the high school level in one of 33 countries. Rotary volunteers make the program affordable to students, ages 15 to 18.5 at the time of departure, of all backgrounds and economic means.

Each year, nearly 9,000 high school students around the world accept the challenge to become citizens of the world by applying to become a Rotary Youth Exchange student. The program is now available here in Georgia, and applications are open. The application deadline is in November, for the following school year. Most students need 3-4 weeks to complete the application. The application process is very extensive, and includes one or more interviews.

Parents and eligible students still have an opportunity to attend an informational session on Wednesday, September 19 from 6:30 to 8:30 pm at the Community Room,
CITY OF ALPHARETTA CITY HALL, 2 Park Plaza, Alphaetta, GA 30009. Advance online registration for the session is required at http://www.ryeflorida.org/district-6900
