A DIFC-Registered Philanthropic Foundation

A promise to Georgia’s brightest minds

We fund exceptional Georgian scholars pursuing Master’s degrees in STEM at the world’s leading universities — so that talent, not circumstance, decides how far they go.

The Promise

Every scholarship is a promise kept — that a brilliant mind in Tbilisi, Kutaisi, or Telavi deserves the same horizon as one in Cambridge, Zürich, or Boston.

Two Standards of Excellence

The world’s most trusted jurisdiction. One founder’s vision.

The Natro Promise Foundation is built on the harmony of two standards of excellence: the Dubai International Financial Centre — one of the world’s most respected and trusted jurisdictions, whose governance framework safeguards every promise we make — and the organisational vision of David Natroshvili, who built a global technology company on precision, transparency, and conviction.

Where the two meet, a scholar’s future is held to the same standard as a global institution’s: rigorously, transparently, and permanently.

The Founder

One journey, given forward

David Natroshvili built one of the world’s most successful gaming technology companies from Georgia. The foundation is his answer to a simple question: what would it have meant to have someone believe in you at the very beginning?

“Twenty-five years ago I was a poor student from Georgia. Today I return to help students just like me.”

Georgia on David’s Mind

Wherever success has taken David Natroshvili, his heart has remained in Georgia.

Georgia has given the world some of the brightest engineering and scientific minds. Yet this era has pushed Georgian students further from the world’s leading centres of learning — tearing down bridges to world-class higher education instead of building new ones. This foundation exists to restore them.

NPF is that bridge
Who We Fund

Four things we look for

Our criteria are demanding by design. A Natro Promise scholarship is not aid — it is recognition. And it funds one thing: Master’s degree studies.

Georgian citizenship

The promise is to Georgia. Every scholar we fund is a citizen of Georgia, wherever their studies take them.

Excellence in Bachelor’s studies

A record of excellence in undergraduate studies — the proof that ability is already there, waiting for its next stage.

Admission to a leading university

An offer of admission to a Master’s programme at a leading university — or readiness to accept one — and/or partial financing already secured from the institution.

Sustained excellence

The promise continues as long as it is kept: funding is maintained only while the scholar upholds academic excellence — a GPA of 3.5 or above — throughout the funded Master’s programme.

The Horizon
