Since launching its scholarship programme in 2023, the British International School of Tbilisi has welcomed 26 scholarship students - seven of them joining in the upcoming 2026/2027 academic year.

Across these three years, BIST's cumulative investment in scholarship funding has reached 2.3 million GEL.

For a school that consistently ranks among Georgia's leading international institutions, the scholarship programme is a natural extension of its academic ambition - identifying students with outstanding potential and giving them access to a genuinely world-class education.

"We want the most ambitious young people in Georgia to have the chance to study at BIST. Talent is not rare - opportunity sometimes is. This programme is how we close that gap." - Robert Snowden, Principal, BIST

BIST offers a rigorous British curriculum within a diverse, internationally-minded community. Its track record of strong examination results and university placements has established the school as a preferred choice for families seeking an education that prepares students for the world beyond Georgia's borders - and scholarship holders are part of that same story.

Scholarship applications are reviewed annually on a merit basis, assessing academic performance, intellectual curiosity, and personal qualities. The programme continues to grow, and with 26 students supported to date and a total commitment of 2.3 million GEL, BIST is building something with measurable, lasting impact.
