Supporters

At Martingale, we believe that family income should not be a barrier to the pursuit of excellence, and our programmes focus on supporting students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Our flagship programme, the Martingale Postgraduate Scholarship, supports students from low socioeconomic backgrounds to pursue postgraduate degrees and excel when they get there.

This would not be possible without the generosity of our supporters.
