17.06.2026.18:10
Changes to the “Student Education Financing Programme” will take effect from the fast-approaching autumn semester of this year, with the stipend for successful master’s students rising from 562.5 lari to one thousand lari per semester.
Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze explained at today’s session of the municipal government that a new programme, “Young Scientists for Tbilisi”, will be launched.
“Under this programme, we will provide research grants to young researchers working on solving the capital’s challenges and developing innovative ideas, with areas of need to be identified annually based on municipal requirements. The programme financing the studies of students who secured their place at state or private higher education institutions before the 2026–2027 academic year will also continue,” said Kakha Kaladze.
He further explained that the municipal city hall covers tuition fees every semester for students who are socially vulnerable, members of large families, or have disability status.
“Under the Student Education Financing Programme, this year 1,280 socially vulnerable students, more than 500 students from large families, and up to 50 students with disabilities received funding. We also welcome the reform initiated in this area by the Ministry of Education, Science and Youth, which provides for full coverage of tuition fees at public universities. We believe this change will significantly increase both the accessibility and quality of higher education,” the Mayor of Tbilisi noted.
