The scholarship is given to a bachelor student with the maritime field to support the student’s future career development. Drude explains in her own words how the scholarship helps her in her studies:
“I am very honored by receiving the ABS Scholarship. I greatly appreciate not only the acknowledgement of my abilities, but also the time and ressources ABS has spent giving me this scholarship. During my application and when I received the scholarship, I have gotten an immeasurable introduction to ABS, the maritime industry, and many inspiring individuals. I have only been met by smiles and interest; a great experience! The ABS Scholarship has given me a unique opportunity to learn something about “the world of maritime engineering”.
In financial terms, the ABS Scholarship enables me to have many great experiences that increase both my technical knowledge and my understanding of the industry. I can spend less time on my student job for a short period and instead concentrate on hosting NTHS, a big, week-long Congress for Nordic maritime engineering students and I can buy the additional books recommended for a course programme at DTU”.
