Optiver Foundation Scholarship Programme
The Optiver Foundation Scholarship Programme at the University of Oxford is an international postgraduate scholarship programme for women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Over the first two cohorts, students from countries around the world, including Bangladesh, China, Colombia, Lebanon, Morocco, Nigeria and Ukraine, have come to Oxford to undertake a one-year MSc course.

Applications for next year’s Optiver Foundation Scholarship Programme are now open. A third round of scholarships will be awarded to students applying to one-year masters’ courses within the Departments of Statistics, Computer Science, Physics, Chemistry and Engineering Science, or the Mathematical Institute. Female applicants from low- and middle-income countries will be considered for the awards, which provide full financial support to cover course fees and a stipend for living costs. Scholars will also receive tailored induction activities, mentoring and on-course support. View more information about the Optiver Foundation Scholarships, including how to apply, here.
