Group Study Exchange

The Group Study Exchange (GSE) program of The Rotary Foundation is a unique cultural and vocational exchange opportunity for young business and professional men and women between the ages of 25 and 40 (does not apply to Rotarian Team Leader) and in the early years of their professional lives. The GSE program provides travel grants for team members to experience the host country's institutions and ways of life, observe their own vocations as practiced abroad, develop personal and professional relationships, and exchange ideas. The Rotary Foundation provides round-trip air travel and the host Rotarians provide for meals, lodging, and in-country group travel.
