«Our university years are a launching pad for professional development. Tinkoff was created by graduates of some of the
strongest technical departments, and we know
We decided to launch our Tinkoff Scholarship programme in order to support young talents with a passion for technology.
However, this support is not purely financial as the students will become part of a community that will open gates to our events, educational programmes and feedback from top managers of Tinkoff and other companies.
The programme will feature two eligibility tracks — Academic and Industrial — at launch. Currently, each of these tracks has a maximum capacity of 40 students, but we are planning to expand the scholarship programme next year, both in terms of the number of tracks and of participants.»
To enter the competition for the scholarship, students need to:
- Fill in the application form, upload documents and complete the selection test at Tinkoff Education before 16 May. The selection test consists of several programming or math problems, takes place online and lasts up to five hours.
- Pass an online interview with the members of the selection committee.
The winners will be determined by a panel of experts, including Tinkoff top managers, prominent entrepreneurs, and representatives of scientific, educational and civil organisations.
The Tinkoff Scholarship competition will take place every year.
