This year there will be two scholarships available for the MSc in Technology Management, starting in September 2020. The scholarships aim to advance female leadership and increase diversity in technology organisations and all high-tech environments.

Each scholarship is valued at €7,900, which is 50% of the fee for the MSc in Technology Management, and will be awarded on a competitive basis. Applications will open on 2nd January 2020 and will be accepted until 10th July 2020. The scholarship is awarded in conjunction with the 30% Club.
