Talented women from middle- and low-income nations can pursue postgraduate studies in the UK thanks to the University of Oxford Optiver Foundation Scholarship, a fully funded grant that covers all tuition costs and offers a sizeable living stipend. The program, which was created thanks to a significant donation from the Optiver Foundation, will assist up to 30 taught master’s students over the course of five years. Its goal is to give women scholars more chances so they can succeed academically and professionally and support global development. The scholarship promotes quality and inclusivity within Oxford’s intellectual community in addition to removing financial barriers. In October 2026, the fourth group of Optiver Foundation Scholars will start their master’s program at Oxford.
