What is the GenDev Scholarship?

The Generation Developer Scholarship was established to support ambitious computer science students in Munich financially and professionally. We firmly believe that practical experience at a young age lays the foundation for developing great software solutions later in life. The GenDev Scholarship aims to enable passionate IT students to invest time and resources into their own IT projects and thereby expanding their own IT skills.

The application phase for the next round of the GenDev IT Scholarship will start in October 2025.

What to expect
from the Coding Challenge

On GitHub you can find the task description as well as hints for the solution. The completion of the coding challenge and the submission of your solution is a prerequisite for a successful application and represents the most important part of the selection process.

We want the coding challenge to be both fun and challenging for you, which is why we provide large datasets for you to experiment with.

About the GenDev Scholarship

Financial support

€600 gross per month for a period of 12 months, so that you have more time and flexibility when implementing your software projects and expanding your skills. We hope this will strengthen your passion for software development.

Networking

Share your passion for coding with other IT students and look forward to exclusive events where you can work and learn together with fellow scholarship holders on real-world problems. Additionally, we invite each GenDev cohort to an exciting city trip, including a hackathon!

Work shadowing

Gain an exclusive insight into the world of software development at CHECK24 by accompanying one of our IT Heads for a day. You will experience first-hand how we take new features live, which technologies are used and which processes help our teams to work together as efficiently as possible.

Work and Learn

The scholarship program will give you an initial insight into the working methods and software development at CHECK24. If you would like to dive deeper and work on production code yourself as part of a working student job or internship, you will always get a place with us as a scholarship holder. Your working hours and your contribution will of course also be remunerated.

"The GenDev Scholarship is a great opportunity not only to receive financial support but also to learn a lot about a large German tech company. Here you meet others who are also interested in IT, learn a lot and make new contacts. It is particularly exciting to look behind the scenes and see how the company works - in terms of processes, people and methods. This scholarship is more than just money; it has really helped me personally to progress professionally."
