Are you passionate about research and ready to take the next step in your academic journey? The Martingale Foundation is calling international students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds to apply for the 2026 Spring intake of its fully funded postgraduate scholarships. If you dream of pursuing a Master’s or PhD at a top UK university in mathematical sciences, artificial intelligence, data science, engineering, or biomedical research, this opportunity could change your life.
Why the Martingale Scholarship Stands Out?
Unlike many other funding programs, the Martingale Scholarship is not just about financial support—it is about building leaders. Scholars receive:
- Full tuition fee coverage at partner universities.
- A tax-free stipend set according to the Living Wage Foundation, ensuring you can focus on your research without financial worries.
- Research and travel expenses fully covered.
- Tailored application support to help you smoothly apply to partner universities.
- A professional development programme with leadership training and access to world-leading experts.
- Membership in a prestigious research community that nurtures academic and professional growth.
