The Martingale Postgraduate Foundation has launched the Martingale Scholarships with five of the UK’s leading research universities. Each partner university has made significant commitments to the programme and is looking forward to providing a world-class experience for scholars.
Oxford is offering the Martingale Scholarships for students applying to the Oxford Masters in Mathematical Sciences.
Once you receive a scholarship-in-principle from the Martingale Foundation, you will then need to complete a separate application for each university, which must be done in accordance with the university’s standard admissions process and deadlines. The deadline for the scholarship is 28 November.
More details are available from the Martingale Postgraduate Foundation website.
