Comprehensive multi-stage selection process Individual Support Package Application & deadline Awarding of the VERBUND Women's Stipend Portrait of VERBUND scholarship holders 2020 Scholarship holder Helena Hazeu, Mechanical Engineering Helena Hazeu won the VERBUND Scholarship for Women for female students in the field of electrical and mechanical engineering. She herself has benefited from the choice of profession of female engineers in a familial environment. For her, it’s a combination of happiness and mission: “I’d like to motivate more young women to opt for technical studies and serve as a role model. Despite the low number of women on my course, I have never felt disadvantaged. The mechanical engineering course is like a big family, in which all students work together and help one another.” Scholarship holder Luise Prielinger, Computational Science & Engineering Luise Prielinger received the VERBUND Scholarship for Women for female computer scientists. She is certain that technical careers are a good choice: “I am convinced that you shouldn’t be put off, especially as a young woman, by the ‘difficulty’ of a technical degree – no prior knowledge is required either. It is much more important to have an interest in and the stamina required for the profession and the studies. The enthusiasm and joy of technology then come all on their own.” Scholarship holder Julia Reisinger, Civil Engineering Julia Reisinger is awarded the VERBUND Scholarship for Women for civil engineering and infrastructure management. “When I was 4 years old, I was fascinated by architecture and the built environment around me. Back then, I always used to say: “I will also build such amazing buildings” and was constantly painting and designing houses. I don’t know what could prevent girls and women from not choosing a technical career. Believe in yourselves! Which should all live much more according to the motto of Pippi Longstocking: ‘I’ve never tried that, but I’m quite certain I’ll manage it!’” Photo Gallery Women's Stipend Recipients Next slide Videos of the VERBUND Scholarship for Women recipients Please accept marketing-cookies for this website displaying YouTube-videos.

That's a great opportunity for networking and an exchange of experiences. The visit to the Freudenau power plant was very interesting and it helped us get to know VERBUND better. Thank you very much for the excellent organisation!" Clarissa Stracke, Bachelor's recipient 2011 on the Alumni Events: Many thanks for the fascinating and enjoyable afternoon yesterday! It was a real pleasure, and fun to get to know all the others."
