GenDev – The CHECK24 tech scholarship

What is the GenDev Scholarship?

The GenDev Scholarship was created to help aspiring students in the field of computer science focus on what truly matters: getting your IT projects done. We strongly believe that hands-on experience and working on production code at a young age is the cornerstone for developing great software solutions later in life.

Applications are open again in April 2024.

About the GenDev Scholarship

Financial support

450€ monthly for a period of 12 months for more time and flexibility to implement your software projects and improve your skills. Through this, we hope to inspire your passion for software development.

Networking

Share your love for lean software solutions with like-minded people: We invite you to exciting tech talks and events at our Munich office. Meet other IT students or exchange ideas with our software developers who have been successfully developing software for years.

Work & Learn

In addition to the scholarship, we won't hesitate to let you write important code, as long as you really want to. Constantly working on your own software projects isn't challenging enough for you anymore? If you are curious and interested in working on production code, we will surely find an exciting project for you in one of our many software teams. Your time and contribution as a working student or intern will certainly be remunerated additionally.
