      Shaping career paths together

      HPI would like to invite internal and external female students to talk to each other and tackle the topic of careers together. Despite the high demand for young IT professionals, the proportion of women in companies throughout Germany is still only 18 percent.

      The scholarships are intended to give you the opportunity to talk together about successes and setbacks. We want to provide impetus for self-reflection and exchange, while also imparting tips and skills that participants can use to prepare for an application process. In addition, you will benefit from a network of great and inspiring Women in Tech even after the conferences.

      Interested female computer science students from all universities and colleges can register online for the scholarships. The number of participants is limited to 10.

      You must send a current CV and a short explanation of why you would like to participate in the conferences. The motivation letter should be at least ½ page long but no longer than a full page.
