The UK government announces a scholarship program named after Karen Sparck Jones aimed at funding master's degrees in AI and STEM at nine major universities. With £17.2m allocated, the program seeks to support 100 talented students, offering them not only full tuition and living expenses but also industry partnerships and mentorship. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to enhance opportunities in the UK's tech sector and lower financial barriers for students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Applications open in Spring 2026, with classes starting in October 2026.
We are providing unique opportunities for talented young people to take up master's degrees in AI, with fully funded tuition and unparalleled access to industry.
The scholarship could also lower the financial burden of students from low-income backgrounds who might otherwise be unable to afford university.
