Program Overview


Introduction to the Ellison Scholars Program

The Ellison Institute of Technology's mission is to develop and deploy technology in pursuit of solving some of humanity's most challenging and enduring problems. Guided by world leaders, scientists, and entrepreneurs, EIT seeks to accelerate innovation in health and medical science, food security and sustainable agriculture, climate change and clean energy, and government innovation and the era of artificial intelligence.


Program Overview

The Ellison Scholars program is an academic scholarship that funds all course fees at the University of Oxford, with a generous stipend to cover living expenses, travel, and other costs. The multi-year program includes the equivalent of paid internships, with continued work on a project within EIT's humane endeavors. Scholars will fully commit to both their study at the University of Oxford and their ongoing project work with EIT.
