While GRSP spends the year hosting international college
students, we are thankful for this opportunity allows college students from
Georgia to spend the summer attending school and exchanging cultural customs in
Norway. Oslo International Summer School includes students from all over the
world in a diverse cultural program in the beautiful city of Oslo, Norway with
four weeks of academic achievement and international goodwill. Students must
have a valid passport. Applications will be reviewed and all applicants will be
notified by the end of January 2025.
The opportunity is open to undergraduate college students,
who are Georgia residents, who have completed their first year of college by
the end of Spring Semester 2025. Students must be between the ages of 20 to 24,
single, in good health and academic standing plus willing to serve as an
ambassador for Georgia Rotarians. Scholarship includes air fares from Atlanta
to Oslo and return to Atlanta. Scholarship also includes undergraduate
coursework, administered by the University of Oslo, room, board and administrative
fees for the International Summer School at the University of Oslo. Scholarship
recipients must pay their travel expense to-and-from Atlanta airport and
to-and-from the Oslo airport, plus provide their own personal spending money.
English is the language of instruction. The 78-year program successfully allows
students to engage with and learn from students from other countries, building
cross-cultural understanding and confidence. Oslo, Norway is a small country in
Northern Europe with beautiful and breathtaking scenery, a fascinating history
and culture.
