Home | Updates | Bitcoin scholarships launched at Lomond School
The Satoshi Scholarships at Lomond School offer students the chance to explore Bitcoin and Austrian economics in the classroom.
Lomond School has introduced the Satoshi Scholarships, offering 42 scholarships for students passionate about economics and innovation. These cover the prestigious International Baccalaureate (IB) programme, including 21 two-year day and 21 two-year boarding scholarships.
The initiative is backed by economist Dr. Saifedean Ammous, who will help develop a new Austrian economics curriculum. The curriculum will focus on sound money, decentralised finance, and the ethics of financial liberty.
Dr. Ammous expressed his enthusiasm for the project, emphasising the importance of teaching future generations about sound economics. In addition, students will engage with Bitcoin mining hardware and gain practical knowledge of monetary systems.
Lomond School is now seeking 43 founding benefactors to support the scholarships and help shape the next generation of economic thinkers. Interested parties can learn more by contacting the school directly.
