The Scholarship:

We are excited to offer two scholarships for students from historically under represented backgrounds that are interested in pursuing a career in quant finance.

As well as funding, we will also offer scholarship recipients the opportunity to interview for our highly competitive internship and placement year opportunities.

A career in quantitative finance offers bright graduates an exciting and challenging opportunity to apply their technical skills, and progress in a meritocracy surrounded by incredibly intelligent colleagues. At G-Research we are committed to widening participation in an industry where certain groups are underrepresented.

Three scholarships of £2,300 each.
