Davit Bezhuashvili’s Education Foundation Launches Hellenic/Neogrecist Philology Support Grants for students studying Modern Greek philology Project At the initiative and with the support of the Embassy of Greece in Georgia, the Davit Bezhuashvili’s Education Foundation has started a partnership with the TSU Institute of Classical Philology, Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies.
In order to support the development of Hellenic Studies in Georgia and motivate students wishing to study in the field of Modern Greek Philology, attract students, promote the theoretical and practical activities of the above-mentioned field, the Davit Bezhuashvili’s Education Foundation will provide a study grant to at least two students of the Modern Greek Philology Department at the TSU Institute of Classical Philology, Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies.

The project will last for four years.


Taking into account the centuries-old historical and cultural relations and the current multilateral cooperation between Georgia and Greece, it is very important to motivate and engage students in the field of Modern Greek Philology, which will be supported by appropriate study grants.
Supporting students in the direction of Modern Greek Philology, on the one hand, will increase the number of Hellenophiles with Greek language and culture, and on the other hand, it will strengthen relations with EU member states Greece and Cyprus, which is of particular significance in Georgia's Euro-integration process.
Davit Bezhuashvili’s Education Foundation study grants ensure the attraction of interested, motivated students to the field of Modern Greek Philology, which in turn will contribute to strengthening relations with our partners - EU member countries Greece and Cyprus, and the prospects for Modern , growing development of these relations.

Two students of the Department of Modern Greek Philology have already been funded for the spring semester of the academic year 2022-2023.
During the meeting with the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Greece, Her Excellency Maria Theodorou and the staff of the Institute, the parties agreed that in the future the Davit Bezhuashvili’s Foundation will expand the field of Hellenistic Studies support in Georgia and other educational, popular scientific and cultural projects will be implemented.
