FEDA and University of Andorra Launch Second Women's Computer Science Scholarship

FEDA and the University of Andorra have launched applications for the second edition of the FEDA scholarship targeting women in computer science, covering the 2026-2027 academic year. Eligible candidates can submit requests from March 2 to June 15 through the Beques portal on the Forces Elèctriques d'Andorra website.

The initiative selects a single recipient annually. Benefits include full tuition coverage for the University's bachelor's degree in computer science, plus a €450 monthly allowance during the academic term to allow full focus on studies. Additional professional support features a training placement at FEDA, a summer contract as a temporary employee, and a one-year contract post-graduation to aid entry into the workforce.

The award lasts one year and can be renewed each academic year, provided the recipient achieves strong academic performance, with the aim of supporting the student throughout their degree.

Applicants must provide a passport copy, proof of pre-enrollment in the UdA computer science bachelor's program, a residence permit or that of parents or guardians if required, a CV, and a motivation letter.

The program underscores both institutions' commitment to gender equality and boosting female participation in male-dominated fields such as technology. It follows the first edition awarded in 2025, seeking to challenge stereotypes and build role models to inspire more women into tech careers.

FEDA's equality plan seeks balanced gender representation in its workforce, particularly in areas with limited female applicants, by encouraging early interest in these professions among women.
