ROTARY Clubs in and around Winchester came together to provide a student with the chance to study in the USA.

Meg Seaman from Waltham Chase was selected from more than 200 applicants to attend the Georgia Rotary Student Programme.

Meg will be studying finance as her major subject, but hopes to do classes in North American culture and history.

She will be living in halls on campus with an American roommate and hopes to see as much of America as she can whilst there, as well as hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

The opportunity was made possible by Bishop's Waltham Rotary Club and Winchester Rotary who sponsored her flights and insurance, as well as five Rotary Clubs in Georgia who are funding her tuition, accommodation and book allowance.
