The Two Sigma Undergraduate Scholarship supports students pursuing an undergraduate degree in a STEM field such as Statistics, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, or Physics at an accredited university in the United States. Applications are assessed based on the student’s resume, degree transcripts and recommendation letters.

  • Scholarship recipients will receive a one-time award of $15,000 USD paid to the Scholarship recipient directly, which, as a condition of the scholarship, may only be used for tuition, fees required to enroll at or attend their university, and books, supplies, equipment and course-related fees for courses at their university.
  • A Two Sigma Research Mentor will be assigned to each Scholarship recipient.
  • Each Scholarship recipient will be guaranteed a first-round interview for a Two Sigma 2022 summer internship.

Eligibility

  • Applicants must be full-time students currently pursuing an undergraduate degree at an accredited university in the United States.
  • Students must be in their 3rd year of a 4 year undergraduate degree program when the scholarship begins (fall semester or quarter 2022).

  • Students should be currently enrolled in an undergraduate degree in one of the following disciplines listed below:

    • Statistics

    • Computer Science / Computer Engineering / Electrical Engineering

    • Physics / Astronomy

    • Applied Mathematics

  • Two Sigma employees, contractors/consultants & relatives are not eligible

The department can nominate up to3 undergraduate students. Their goal is essentially to sponsor outstanding research in STEM fields and therefore establish a long lasting partnership between Faculty, students, and Two Sigma.
