                                         About the Group Study Exchange Program

The Group Study Exchange (GSE) program is a unique cultural and vocational exchange opportunity for young business and professional men and women ages 25 to 40 in their initial years of professional life. Teams spend four to six weeks abroad participating in vocational activities in their respective fields, being immersed in cultural experiences, enjoying fellowship with host families and members of the community, and working with the host districts Rotarians at club meetings and various Rotary activities. The ideal team member candidate is someone who is a team player, outgoing, social, has a sense of responsibility, good ambassador, good communicator, loves their profession and is respectful.

Expenses. The Rotary Foundation pays the least-expensive commercial round-trip transportation between districts and up to US$1,000 for language training (self-study or at an eligible educational institution). Additional subsidies include:

1. The host district provides the visiting teams meals, accommodations, and transportation during the study program.

2. Team members pay for personal and incidental expenses; visa, passport, inoculation expenses, travel to / from airport and airport taxes; insurance coverage; and the cost of any additional travel after the study tour.
