Scholarships

We fund and support a new generation of postgraduates in research

Martingale Foundation supports a new generation of postgraduates to thrive in research.

Through fully-funded Scholarships and access to a community of pioneering leaders, we enable and nurture talented individuals from low-socioeconomic backgrounds to thrive within world-leading postgraduate research.

For the 2027 Martingale Scholarships, we are offering masters and PhDs in the mathematical sciences and artificial intelligence.

Martingale provides crucial support through:

 A fully-funded Scholarship to pursue a Masters or PhD at one of our partner universities.

 All tuition fees and research expenses, including a tax-free stipend set according to the Living Wage Foundation.

 Tailored university application support that covers the application process for each university.

 A comprehensive professional development programme that includes leadership training and connections with top academic and industry professionals.

 Membership of a prestigious research community.

We are delighted to be partnering with some of the UK’s leading research universities to offer postgraduate scholarships.

We offer select Masters and PhDs in a range of subject areas at our partner universities. Each partner university has made significant commitments to the programme to provide a world-class experience for Scholars.

‘For such a huge opportunity, applying for the Scholarship was actually very simple. I initially had questions that were instantly answered by the program leads and this helpfulness has continued throughout the Scholarship so far.

Applying to the partner universities was made easy too, thanks to the help of online webinars with the leaders of each degree program offered, something that I likely wouldn’t have had access to without Martingale.’
