What is the Code Club

IT-Scholarship?

Are you in year 11 or 12 of secondary school, live in the Munich area and love computer science? Have you previously worked on small projects such as programming websites and apps, or already taken part in an IT competition? Ideally, you also enjoy the areas of web and app development or data science?

Then Code Club is the right thing for you!

About the Code Club Scholarship

Mentor

Discuss the various aspects of software development with your mentor. Ask everything you ever wanted to know about working in IT and get expert input on your tech projects.

Tech sessions

Once a month, we organise expert seminars for our scholarship holders on a wide variety of IT topics (such as Git & GitHub, server administration, continuous integration, IT security, coding best practices). In doing so, we take your IT knowledge to the next level.

Meet other people

Meet other IT students from Munich and the surrounding area, find out which cool tech projects they’re currently working on and share your experiences and knowledge – who knows, maybe you’ll come up with new project ideas as a result.

Events

A kick-off event is held at the start of each scholarship year. You’ll get to meet other scholarship students, plus your mentor. In autumn, we organize a hackathon for you, and you can look forward to a joint farewell event at the end of the scholarship. During the scholarship you will also meet one of the CHECK24 CTOs, Philipp, Stefan or Kostas in person.

Student job

Want to put your programming skills into practice? You can complete a student internship or take on a paid student job. You’ll benefit from close support from experienced software developers who will give you regular feedback and tips to help you learn as much as possible and achieve your goals during your time here.

Allowance

In addition to professional sponsorship, we also want to financially support you on your journey into the world of IT. Perhaps you’ve always wanted to rent a domain, complete a programming course on Udemy or buy a specialist book. That’s why you’ll receive a monthly allowance of 100 € during your scholarship year to use as you wish.
