Bitcoin Magazine
Scotland's Lomond School has introduced a Bitcoin-funded scholarship program to provide global students with two years of tuition and boarding.

Summary

Lomond School in Helensburgh, Scotland, has launched the "Satoshi Scholarship," a fully funded initiative covering two years of tuition and boarding for international students. This program, supported by donations from the global Bitcoin community, marks a significant expansion of the school's integration of Bitcoin into its operations, which already includes accepting tuition payments in BTC and maintaining a Bitcoin treasury. Beyond financial support, the school is pioneering an education curriculum centered on Austrian economics and "sound money" principles, developed with author Saifedean Ammous. The campus also incorporates Bitcoin technology directly into the learning environment through node operation, mining units used for heating, and real-time mempool displays.
