In 2006 ISO signed a protocol agreement with the Ministry of National Education and Literacy. This agreement offers each year, to two students among the top ten who have passed the Brevet d'Etudes du Premier Cycle, the possibility of obtaining a full scholarship at ISO until the end of their graduate studies, as well as a national scholarship (subject to conditions) for their higher education studies. After evaluations and interviews, two students are selected each year to continue their graduate studies at ISO. They then have 4 years to complete their second cycle in the American system instead of 3 years in the Burkinabe system. Thus in 13 years, the school has received 28 scholarship students, 8 of whom are currently studying at ISO, 19 in universities abroad and 1 in a Burkinabe university.
