Our Promise
Four commitments. Clearly stated.
The fellowship is built on a simple belief: substantial talent deserves substantial support, and support should be accompanied by structure, continuity and high expectations.
At a glance
01
Money
$60,000 per fellow.
An individual funding plan for tuition, living and study support, books, software, equipment and approved participation costs.
02
Circuit
A defined year of study and practice.
Foundations, mathematics, computation, application and contribution, designed as one connected course of development.
03
Pledge
Support that does not end with a check.
A named mentor, an individual plan, recurring reviews, access to Ramsey Theory Group's professional environment and a continuing fellowship network.
04
Expectations
Care and rigor are not opposites.
Fellows are expected to study seriously, participate fully, meet milestones, uphold intellectual and professional integrity and complete substantial work.
Money
$60,000 per fellow.
Each fellow receives an individual funding plan designed to create the time and stability required for serious work. Depending on the fellow's circumstances, the allocation may support tuition, living and study expenses, books, software, equipment, travel and other approved participation costs.
The purpose is not symbolic assistance. The amount should be large enough to change the decisions a fellow is able to make.
funding-categories-counselCircuit
A defined year of study and practice.
The fellowship connects foundational ideas, advanced mathematics, code, modeling, technology, applications and business. Fellows move from understanding structures to building with them, from theory to practice and back again.
The circuit is not a collection of unrelated workshops. It is one connected course of development with milestones, mentors and substantial final work.
Pledge
Support that does not end with a check.
Ramsey Theory Group commits $600,000 annually in direct support to ten fellows.
Each fellow receives
- A named primary mentor
- An individualized learning and funding plan
- Recurring progress conversations
- Access to instructors and practitioners
- Exposure to real technical and business problems
- Support in defining the next academic or professional step
- A continuing relationship with the fellowship network
The program publishes an annual account of its commitments and outcomes.
class-commitment-scopeExpectations
Care and rigor are not opposites.
Fellows are expected to
- Participate fully and reliably
- Pursue difficult material with seriousness
- Meet agreed academic and project milestones
- Communicate early when circumstances affect participation
- Uphold intellectual honesty and professional integrity
- Contribute to the learning of the cohort
- Complete and present a substantial capstone
- Use financial support according to the agreed plan
The fellowship recognizes that ability can coexist with grief, obligation, uncertainty or a delayed beginning. It does not confuse understanding with lowered standards.
In closing
We will see talent more accurately and give it the demanding support it deserves.
