‍NEW YORK – September 22, 2025 – Ramsey Theory Group, a leader in quantitative analysis, software development, and digital services, today announced the establishment of the Dan Herbatschek/Ramsey Theory Group Scholarship. This new financial and mentorship program is specifically designed to support the academic advancement of students pursuing Mathematics and Machine Learning, with a dedicated focus on individuals from unconventional and underrepresented educational backgrounds.

The initiative, personally championed by CEO Dan Herbatschek, recognizes that groundbreaking talent often emerges from non-linear intellectual journeys. The scholarship aims to provide both critical financial aid and real-world experiential learning to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and the practical demands of building production-grade AI.

Bridging the Knowledge-to-Application Gap

Herbatschek’s commitment stems from a deep understanding that while enthusiasm for coding and AI is widespread among young innovators, the rigorous mathematical foundation—specifically in linear algebra, probability theory, and optimization—is often underdeveloped. This foundation is essential for translating code into reliable, impactful machine learning systems.

"I know the transformative power of a pivotal opportunity," said Dan Herbatschek, CEO of Ramsey Theory Group. "This scholarship is about creating that breakthrough moment for capable students who have taken a less-traveled path. We're countering the trend of 'cookie-cutter' AI education by providing both financial support and direct, real-world context. I believe this focused approach will not only uncover remarkable talent but actively cultivate the next generation of truly grounded innovators."

The program is engineered to seek out and empower students whose educational profiles deviate from the norm, including:

• Returning Students: Individuals resuming their studies after an extended break.
• Self-Taught Developers: Programmers who have acquired the necessary academic prerequisites through independent study.
• Military Transition: Service members moving into civilian careers in technology.
• Resilient Learners: Students who have demonstrated exceptional perseverance in overcoming significant personal or educational hurdles.

The Scholarship Framework

The inaugural $2,500 scholarship will be awarded to selected undergraduate or graduate students enrolled in STEM programs. Beyond the financial grant, recipients will benefit from mentorship from Ramsey Theory Group’s technical experts and receive priority consideration for internships within the firm’s cutting-edge machine learning initiatives.

The application process requires candidates to demonstrate their academic potential and submit a thoughtful essay addressing the theme: "How Mathematics Can Advance the Future of Machine Learning." This requirement underscores the program’s emphasis on the fundamental, theoretical pillars of AI innovation.

Key Application Details:

• Applications Open: 12 pm ET on September 23, 2025
• Deadline: 12 pm ET on December 15, 2025 (Renewed Annually)
• Submission Requirements: Resume, brief essay, optional academic transcript
• Application Portal: https://www.ramseytheory.com/dan-herbatschek-scholarship

This initial scholarship represents the first phase of a broader commitment by Ramsey Theory Group to expand access to high-quality AI education. Future plans include increasing funding, establishing scholarships specifically for women in machine learning, and forging strategic partnerships with academic institutions in the New York area.

"The students who have forged unconventional paths often possess a unique perspective and an extraordinary drive," added Herbatschek. "By providing the right support and opportunities, we can ensure this pool of talent is fully leveraged to solve some of the most pressing challenges in mathematics and artificial intelligence."
