Sciencesoft Scholarship, Strathclyde University The Sciencesoft Scholarship Programme has been set up with the University of Strathclyde. Sciencesoft has made a seven year pledge to help undergraduate students, studying science or mathematics, who need and merit financial assistance. Today Sciencesoft sponsors five students through this scholarship. Students have found the programme to be of immense benefit and some comments from the students are shown below: 

“I am the first in my family to attend university and I hope I can finally work towards a life above the poverty line and in turn financially support my own family. Thank you so, so much. I wouldn’t be this optimistic about my future without your funding”. BSc (Hons) Mathematics, Strathclyde University Student 

“I would like to extend my deepest gratitude and thanks to Sciencesoft Ltd for the scholarship I received. It has been greatly appreciated and has helped me with all the essentials needed to ensure a successful year at Strathclyde University”. BSc Physics Student, Strathclyde University Student 

“The Sciencesoft scholarship has been beneficial to me throughout the year and has definitely made the transition from Secondary to University so much easier than it might have been otherwise. The scholarship has provided me with funding which has enabled me to focus entirely on my studies rather than finding part-time work”. BSc Mathematics & Statistics with Accounting, Strathclyde University Student 

PhD Sponsorship, Glasgow University In 2011, following a request from the Computer Science Department at Glasgow University, Sciencesoft agreed to be the industrial sponsor of a PhD Studentship in Computer Science. The project involved research into advanced 3D visualisation and the student spent part of the time working within the Sciencesoft Research & Development Department. This student is now a full-time employee of Sciencesoft.
