I can provide the three sections you asked for (Admissions Process, Waitlist/Pool, Scholarships) in a detailed, step-by-step format, with facts drawn from the school's official materials. However, I'm currently unable to retrieve content from the BLICS site (blics.org) in this session. I can retry to fetch the official admissions pages now, or I can pull information from archived copies or trusted third-party references and clearly label them as such. Which approach would you prefer?

I will confirm whether BLICS offers scholarships and, if so, explain eligibility, how applications are assessed, typical award ranges, and any renewal requirements. If no scholarships exist, I will state that clearly.

I will verify whether BLICS uses a waitlist or a pool system and describe exactly how it works (e.g., application timing, seats per grade, notification timelines) if the information is available. If the school does not operate a waitlist or pool, I will state that plainly with any known alternatives (e.g., rolling admissions, vacancies by grade).
