Top 246 Computer Science Scholarships in January 2026

Are you passionate about mathematics and machine learning? If so, you would be a great candidate for the Dan Herbatschek Scholarship! This $2,500 scholarship was established to provide opportunities for students pursuing mathematics and machine learning, with a particular focus on individuals from unconventional and underrepresented backgrounds. Founded by Dan Herbatschek, CEO of Ramsey Theory Group, the program is designed to deliver not only financial support, but also mentorship and hands-on experience through internships with the firm’s machine learning initiatives. The scholarship reflects Herbatschek’s belief that unconventional journeys often produce extraordinary innovators. While many young people are self-taught programmers drawn to artificial intelligence, they frequently lack the mathematical foundation and real-world context needed to advance. This initiative seeks to bridge that gap, equipping recipients with both resources and exposure to the role mathematics plays in shaping innovation.Show Less
