Global Talent Fund BIG Scholarships

The BIG ('Backing Invisible Geniuses') Program offers prodigious young talents the opportunity to study at world-class institutions. Scholarships are open to students from around the world who have medalled in international Olympiads. The BIG Program offers holistic support for students, encompassing tuition costs, assistance with living costs, a stipend for academic pursuits outside the classroom, and other benefits such as social events, networking, internships, and research placements. The initiative is spearheaded by the Global Talent Fund, supported with a founding donation from XTX Markets and working in collaboration with the UK Department for Science, Innovation and Technology. The scholarship is competitive and based on academic merit. Beyond academic prowess, the BIG Program also prizes students who demonstrate a collaborative spirit and leadership qualities, and who aspire to make a societal contribution in their careers. Awards are prioritized based on financial need.
