Our 2026 Impact Report
April 2026
Our vision is that family income is never a barrier to the pursuit of excellence. Our second Impact Report, published in April 2026, highlights the strides we’ve made in advancing this vision since launching in 2022.
With over 100 scholars supported by Martingale and our 2026 cohort of masters and PhD scholars starting this autumn, we are rapidly growing to ensure that talented future STEM leaders are not left behind.
Roundtable Report: Access to and Success in Research-Intensive Postgraduate Courses
December 2024
Students from non-research intensive (NRI) institutions for their undergraduate (UG) degree are struggling to access postgraduate (PG) study at research intensive (RI) institutions within the UK, irrespective of the grades they achieve. For those that do transition into RI institutions, they find this transition particularly challenging, with preliminary evaluation from the Martingale Foundation showing that they are more likely to consider dropping out.
In August 2024, Martingale Foundation and Public First brought together top researchers and policy specialists in the area of access to postgraduate study for a roundtable discussion on the challenges of transitioning from a NRI institution at UG to a RI institution for PG study or research, primarily in the UK. This report is a culmination of the rich discussion during the roundtable, the foundation of which was the challenge of supporting students with an NRI background to access PG degrees.
Our 2024 Impact Report
October 2024
Our vision is that family income should not be a barrier to the pursuit of excellence. Our first Impact Report highlights the strides we’ve made in advancing this vision in our first two years of operation.
With over 50 Scholars enrolled in our flagship Scholarship programme, we are rapidly growing to ensure that talented future STEM leaders are not left behind. Thanks to the generous support of our donors and university partners, we celebrate each Martingale Scholar’s success—from securing their dream courses to nurturing their passion for mathematics. With Scholarship applications for the next cohort recently closed and our exciting new expansion into artificial intelligence, our commitment to providing holistic, targeted support to bright minds across the UK drives us forward.
