Statements from previous scholarship holders
Even before I started my Master's programme, I knew that one day I wanted to play an active role in shaping the energy transition. That's why I applied for the TU Graz scholarship from APG, Austria's transmission system operator, which plays a crucial role in the sustainable energy supply of tomorrow. The APG scholarship not only offers me significant financial support, but also the opportunity to make valuable professional contacts. It also gives me the chance to work actively with the company during my studies, for example as part of a Master's thesis.
