About this Program 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 and in the early years of their professional lives. The program provides travel grants for teams to exchange visits between paired areas in different countries. For four to six weeks, team members 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.   For each team member, The Rotary Foundation provides the most economical round-trip air ticket between the home and host countries. Local Rotarians in the host area provide for meals, lodging, and group travel within their district.   Team Leader Applicaton for 2009 - 2010 team Leader. Updates The newly revised GSE News Kit is now available in on-line format only. Go to the Rotary International Download Center to download a copy of the Group Study Exchange News Kit (251-EN). The kit offers ideas and tips on how your district can attract qualified GSE team member candidates and promote the GSE program in your community.
