The Opportunity

A scholarship born from genuine belief in exceptional talent

The Ominimo Excellence Scholarship is a full-tuition grant awarded to one incoming student of the Master in Computational Finance for the academic year 2026/27.

This is a highly selective, merit-based award – one recipient per cohort – established in partnership with Ominimo, recognized as the fastest-growing insurtech company in Europe (source: Astorya VC). Operating at the intersection of finance, data science, and AI, Ominimo reflects the very foundation of computational finance and invests in individuals with the potential to shape its future.

The scholarship is awarded as a pure grant — it carries no employment obligations for the recipient, and no recruitment expectations from Ominimo. You are free to pursue your own path. This award is about who you are and what you are capable of — nothing else.

Covering full tuition and all applicable fees, this scholarship removes every financial barrier between an outstanding candidate and one of Europe’s most rigorous programs at the intersection of finance, data science, and artificial intelligence.

The Partner

About Ominimo

Founded in Serbia and Hungary, Ominimo has grown into a pan-European insurtech force — serving over 500,000 customers across multiple markets in just a few years of operation.

Backed by Zurich Insurance and valued at over €200 million, Ominimo is not a traditional insurer. It is a data-first, AI-driven company rethinking how insurance works from the ground up – built on the same intersection of finance, data science, and AI that the MCF program is designed to develop.

Its decision to establish this scholarship reflects Ominimo’s recognition of the MCF as a leading source of analytical talent, and its commitment to the broader ecosystem of finance and technology in the region.

The Candidate

We are looking for one person

The selection is highly competitive. We are not looking for a profile — we are looking for an individual. That said, the strongest candidates will demonstrate:

01

Academic excellence

Outstanding analytical ability and a strong academic record, regardless of discipline.

02

Intellectual curiosity

Genuine fascination with the intersection of mathematics, finance, and technology.

03

Real-world drive

Ambition to apply data science and AI to problems that matter in financial practice.

04

Compelling motivation

A clear, personal reason for pursuing computational finance — and for wanting the MCF specifically.

Candidates come from diverse academic backgrounds — engineering, economics, mathematics, law, medicine. What unites them is rigor, ambition, and the conviction that finance and technology, together, can be a force for change.
