📋 Tender Overview
Charitable Foundation Investment in the Future has unveiled the results of the second season of the scholarship program in mathematics and IT, implemented with Sbers support. In the 2025/26 academic year, 472 undergraduate and postgraduate students from 13 top universities in Russia will receive RUB 30,000 and RUB 100,000 monthly, respectively. Since the first season, the number of scholarship recipients nearly doubled, from 281 undergraduates and postgraduates, as the program sparked significant interest among young scientists and researchers, with 1,522 undergraduates and 120 postgraduates applying for scholarships. The highest number of entries was submitted by MIET (400 applications), Higher School of Economics (328), ITMO (207), SPbSU, and Lomonosov MSU. More than one half of all participants are studying mathematics and natural sciences, while another third specializes in IT and engineering. Apart from financial support, scholarship winners among undergraduates enjoy access to Sbers courses, while postgraduates collaborate with researchers from AIRI - Artificial Intelligence Research Institute. When choosing scholarship winners, their academic achievements were considered along with their scientific and professional work: scientific publications, participation in conferences, projects, case study competitions, hackathons, internships, practices, as well as recommendations from universities and educational program managers.
