IB Grants
The International Baccalaureate (IB) provides short-term grants for schools experiencing temporary financial challenges or schools that are demonstrably increasing access to IB programmes.
Who can apply?
This fund offers grants to schools or education districts in two categories.
Category 1: IB World Schools experiencing temporary financial difficulties owing to unpredictable circumstances beyond their control
Category 2: IB World Schools or implementing schools that can clearly demonstrate that they are significantly widening access to IB programme(s) and/or that they will be significantly contributing to a more diverse, inclusive IB Community
Nature of the grants
Grants are short term, valid for one year with a possible extension to two years maximum. Funds can be used for the training of teachers and administrators, the payment of the IB annual school fee for one or more programmes, or to support creative schemes to widen access and diversity.
Grants will take the form of a credit to the school's IB account. This will enable a rebate in annual fees or payment of workshop expenses in lieu of reimbursement of costs incurred through schemes to widen access and diversity. Schools will be expected to submit a report after the funds have been expended.
The ongoing sustainability of an IB programme in the school is a key consideration in the award of a grant.Schools will not normally be eligible for more than two awards.
