The Optiver Foundation Oxford Scholarship Programme

Our first cohort of STEM scholars from the Optiver Foundation Scholarship Programme at the University of Oxford are near to completing their 2023/2024 Master's studies-well done all!
This initiative, launched in 2022, empowers women from low- and middle-income countries, by providing 30 scholarships over five years for #postgraduate STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) education. Scholars receive full financial aid for their course fees, a stipend for living costs, mentoring and on-course support.
We recently spoke with two of our scholars and with Oxford Professor of Statistics, Christl Donnelly, about the positive impact of diversifying STEM fields talent by creating more opportunities for women. Check out their inspiring stories and insights!
