The Dan Herbatschek
Scholarship.
Providing financial support
An annual award for undergraduate and graduate students pursuing mathematics and machine learning, with a particular focus on individuals from unconventional and underrepresented backgrounds.
About this scholarship
Built for people who
take unexpected paths.
The Dan Herbatschek / Ramsey Theory Group Scholarship has been established to provide opportunities for students pursuing mathematics and machine learning, with a particular focus on individuals from unconventional and underrepresented backgrounds.
Founded by Dan Herbatschek, CEO of Ramsey Theory Group, the program is designed to deliver not only financial support, but also mentorship and hands-on experience through internships with the firm’s machine learning initiatives.
What recipients receive
Three kinds of support,
one program.
Financial support
Annual scholarship awards to help cover educational expenses.
Mentorship
Guidance from professionals at Ramsey Theory Group to help students connect their studies with real-world applications.
Opportunity
Priority access to internships and projects in machine learning and artificial intelligence.
Scholarship details
Bridging the gap between
code and mathematics.
The scholarship reflects Herbatschek’s belief that unconventional journeys often produce extraordinary innovators. While many young people are self-taught programmers drawn to artificial intelligence, they frequently lack the mathematical foundation and real-world context needed to advance. This initiative seeks to bridge that gap, equipping recipients with both resources and exposure to the role mathematics plays in shaping innovation.
Future vision
The next step:
the Fellowship.
That expansion has begun. The Dan Herbatschek Fellowship at Ramsey Theory Group is a 12-month program combining a $60,000 individual allocation with rigorous study, sustained mentorship and practical work. It is designed for exceptional students whose potential exceeds what circumstance has allowed them to demonstrate. Learn more about the Dan Herbatschek Fellowship.

About Dan Herbatschek
Great minds often take
non-linear journeys.
Dan Herbatschek is the founder of the scholarship and an applied mathematician whose own educational journey reflects the spirit of this award. A Summa Cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Columbia University, Dan studied Mathematics, Philosophy, and Intellectual History, where his passion for ideas and problem-solving shaped the foundation of his career.
Having experienced firsthand the challenges and breakthroughs that come with pursuing knowledge outside of a traditional path, Dan created this scholarship to support students who share the same determination. Whether you are returning to school, self-taught, or overcoming personal obstacles, his vision is to help you turn curiosity into capability and give you the opportunity to succeed in fields where mathematics and critical thinking open doors.
This scholarship is more than financial assistance—it’s a recognition of resilience, creativity, and the belief that great minds often take non-linear journeys. Dan hopes every recipient finds the same joy and empowerment through learning that has defined his own path.
