UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD OPTIVER FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIPS, OCTOBER 2027

Leave a comment

Application Deadline: Varies by Programme

LOCATION: England

This scholarship programme aims to increase the number of women from low- and middle-income countries taking up offers for postgraduate science courses at Oxford. The programme has been made possible by a generous donation from the Optiver Foundation.

ELIGIBILITY:

Up to six scholarships are available to female students who are ordinarily resident in an eligible country and who are applying to start an eligible master’s course at Oxford in October 2027. 

For selection purposes we will include all candidates on relevant courses who have indicated on the postgraduate application form that their sex is female. The sex on the application form must match that shown in identity documents, e.g., passport or visa, but does not have to be the applicant’s legal sex. Transgender people may be able to obtain a passport or visa in a binary sex other than their legal sex.  

Students currently at Oxford are not eligible to apply.

This scholarship is not open to applications from candidates who hold deferred offers to start in 2027-28.

Please review the information from the programme website to see the complete list of eligible courses and countries.

Eligible Courses

MSc Energy Systems (Engineering Science)

MSc Advanced Computer Science

MSc Mathematical and Theoretical Physics

MSc Mathematical Modelling and Scientific Computing

MSc Mathematical Sciences

MSc Mathematics and Foundations of Computer Science

MSc in Quantum Technologies

MSc Statistical Science

MSc Theoretical and Computational Chemistry

To be considered for this scholarship, submit your application for graduate study by the relevant November, December, or January deadline for your course, and tick the relevant box on the graduate application form.

If you meet the advertised eligibility criteria, we will ask you to complete an additional scholarship application form to ask about your socio-economic situation and to assess for potential disadvantage and under-representation.

BENEFIT:

The next Optiver Foundation Scholars will begin their studies at Oxford in October 2027 and will be the fifth cohort of the scholarship scheme. Scholars will join the Departments of Statistics, Computer Science, Physics, Chemistry, and Engineering Science, or the Mathematical Institute and will receive full financial support to cover their course fees, as well as a grant for living costs. The donation will also enable the provision of tailored induction activities, mentoring, and on-course support for the scholars.
