Your application in 3 steps
Application Criteria
Step 1:
Read through the application criteria.
Am I eligible for the scholarship and what do I need to apply?
The following should apply to you:
- You are a woman*
- You are 18 years old or older.
- Your place of residence or permanent domicile is in Germany, Austria or Switzerland.
- You have a good knowledge of German or English - B2 level or higher.
- You have basic knowledge of mathematics and statistics, which we will test in a short 20 minute aptitude test.
* We are using the term woman inclusively to apply to anyone who identifies as a woman. While this scholarship is explicitly aimed at women, all non-binary, or genderqueer people are also welcome to apply.
If applicable, the scholarship is relevant for you in terms of tax law and has an impact on your tax return for 2021. As the organizer of the training, we assume no liability in this case. Therefore, please check your situation at the latest upon acceptance.
We need these application documents from you.
- Please upload everything as one PDF in the application form.
- Your resume (1-3 pages)
- Proof of your language skills: We accept all official tests or language certificates, as long as they are comparable to the European reference framework. Exception: If you are a native speaker in either of those languages, a simple statement in your application is sufficient.
We would also like to know your motivation in the application form via text (3 questions of 50 to max. 250 words each) or a self-made video (1 to max. 2.5 minutes).
- What interests you about data?
- What has prevented you from pursuing further education in the field of data in your career so far?
- How would you like to use your scholarship for yourself and your career?
Furthermore, we would like to know:
Are you planning a career change, are you in a difficult economic situation or do you belong to a social minority or disadvantaged group?
Who will select the participants and based on what criteria?
The selection is done jointly by Telefónica Germany / O2 and StackFuel.
We strongly believe that all women should have equal opportunities to pursue a career as a data expert. That’s why we will preferentially select women who are more likely to have a harder time accessing training in general and/or a career in data professions due to their career status or professional background, economic situation or social background.
Even if you don’t think this applies to you, we’d love to hear from you! We want to give every woman a chance. If fewer women from the above-mentioned situations apply than we have places, we will award the remaining places by drawing lots (provided that the mandatory criteria are met). Likewise, if we receive more than 50 applications from the above-mentioned situations, we will decide by drawing lots.

Please click on the start button to go to the application form. Fill out the form by June 10, 2021 at the latest.
PLACEMENT TEST
Step 3:
Take the placement test.
You have a maximum of three attempts to pass the test. We will only grade you with a pass or fail, so once you pass, you don’t have to take it again.
You shouldn’t be afraid of the aptitude test. It’s really only about basic knowledge and you will probably remember more than you think!
