Charges, Fees and Commissions
The Prodigy MSc Project Programme is offered as a free service and there are no charges levied on students, universities or organisations. In addition, if an offer of fulltime employment is made to a participating student, DSF will not charge a fee of introduction. This has been done to ensure that as far as possible barriers to employment are removed and that the students participating in the programme are given every opportunity to launch their careers.
Data Science Foundation membership fees: We do not charge membership fees to universities and individual members. We do charge membership fees to commercial organisations, which are payable on a voluntary basis. We hope organisations will support the work we are doing and will pay fees by direct debit, but these fees will be waived on request.
