Women-in-Tech Empower Pack

Your scholarship to cover your computer science studies at Hasso Plattner Institute

We want to build a digital future for everyone and to do this we need you on board. While working in a team we create sustainable and relevant solutions. The need to become more diverse remains a pressing issue in the tech sector. Women still only make up around 20% of computer science students. Time to make a change! Are you with us?

 

Apply for the bachelor program at Hasso Plattner Institute and for one of ten scholarships for female computer science students. This will not only provide you with financial support during your studies, but also individual support on your career path.

In addition to a monthly stipend, the “Women-in-Tech Empower Pack” includes a variety of formats to guide and support you in your tech career.

 


The Women-in-Tech Empower Pack

Your scholarship will cover you through the normal period of study and, thus, also on your way to an IT career that is as individual as you are. As part of the Women-in-Tech Empower Pack, the following formats are included in your scholarship:

  • COACHING
    Receive four coaching sessions per year

  • NETWORKING
    Participate in networking events

  • ROLE MODELING
