Numerix Women in Finance Scholarship 2026 for Master's and PhD Students

The Numerix Women in Finance Scholarship pays US$20,000 to women studying finance at postgraduate level. Numerix runs the award every year to encourage women who are building careers in the capital markets. The money goes toward your studies, with half paid to you and half paid to your university for tuition. It is open to women of any age and any citizenship.

• Host: Numerix (FINCAD)
• Level: Master's or PhD in finance
• Study destination: any accredited university in any country
• Award: US$20,000, split between the winner and the institution
• Who can apply: women of any age and citizenship
• Deadline: 6 May 2026 at 11:59pm ET

Any accredited university. There is no single host campus; you apply with the postgraduate finance programme you already attend.

The award is for a Master's or PhD programme in finance. Numerix gives priority to applicants heading toward careers in financial asset management, market risk management, fixed-income and derivatives finance within the capital markets.

One scholarship is awarded.

Women of any age and any citizenship. There is no restriction by country.

The scholarship is an award of US$20,000. Half of the award, 50%, is paid directly to the winner. The other 50% goes to the educational institution to assist with tuition. Plan for the split: only part of the money reaches you in person, and the rest is applied to your fees through the university.

Applications are welcomed from female citizens of all countries. To be eligible for the 2025 scholarship, you must:

• Be enrolled and attending a Master's or PhD Finance program on a full-time basis
• Have commenced your post-graduate Finance studies no earlier than 1 January 2027 or no later than 1 February 2028
• Have less than 10 years of total work experience, and less than 5 years of professional experience in the financial field
• Be a female citizen of any country who is enrolled in a post-graduate program in Finance at an accredited university

This suits a woman already enrolled full-time in a Master's or PhD finance programme who started her postgraduate studies within the window the source sets out. If you are early in your career, with limited total work experience and limited professional experience in finance, you fit the profile the award is written for.

You do not need to be a citizen of a particular country, and there is no age limit.
