Any Trading/Structuring Desks that Sponsor Masters/PhD?

I’m doing desk placements for trading at BB, and I am highly interested in going back to school in the next decade and getting a Masters or PhD in Stats, Math, Quant Econ/Finance. Are there any desks in Trading or Structuring that generally support or sponsor graduate school?

“super helpful, very accomodating in scheduling my prep within 1hr of the request. had a lot of actionable takeaways. pointed out things i should specifically focus on for the interview and gave me priority list to focus for tonight and in the morning. also gave me general knowledge of possible technical side of how the desk opperates. ”
