SUPPORT

Student Support by the
Adolf Feizlmayr Foundation

Throughout his professional career, Adolf Feizlmayr enjoyed working with talented young engineers. Seeking to foster their development, he applied the approach of supporting and challenging.

Given his interest in developing young talents, combined with his concern about the future of our planet, it was a logical step for him to establish the Adolf Feizlmayr Foundation: a foundation which amongst other things pursues the promotion of science and research for climate change mitigation and grants scholarships to talented and motivated students at the following universities:

  • Montanuniversität Leoben (MUL)
  • Technischen Universität München (TUM)

Further details about the two scholarships are given below.

COOPERATION

Cooperation with ILF/
Club of Young Engineers

ILF is pleased to support the various initiatives of the Adolf Feizlmayr Foundation, with a focus on the scholarship programs. Scholarship holders automatically become members of ILF’s “Club of Young Engineers” in Austria and Germany.

They are invited to the Club’s regular events and have the chance to discuss questions related to future career opportunities in the company with engineers at ILF. Furthermore, scholarship holders are welcome to apply for internships or student jobs.
There is also the possibility of ILF supervising bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral theses in cooperation with universities and the Foundation.

Quotes from Holders of the
Adolf Feizlmayr-Foundation

Stefan Oberleitner

“Through the financial support which the Adolf Feizlmayr Foundation gave me, I had the freedom to concentrate on my degree. Additionally, having been invited as a scholarship holder to join the Club of Young Engineers, I was able to meet many ILF employees and take up a student job with the company. In the end, I was so impressed by ILF that I chose to start my professional career here after completing my degree.”

“For me, the most valuable experiences during my time as a scholar with ILF and the Adolf Feizlmayr Foundation were the great get-together activities with the Club of Young Engineers, the in-depth discussions and exchange of ideas with colleagues, the warm and relaxed atmosphere, and last but not least the opportunity to expand my personal network. The scholarship made me realize that, in addition to the tasks which make up daily work, a sincere, social and welcoming corporate culture with many get-together events is important for employee motivation and productivity. I now definitely have a new set of standards for potential future employers. More of the same please, ILF!”

“During my degree, in the course of my Master’s thesis, I was lucky enough to work on an exciting project abroad in cooperation with ILF’s Geotechnics Department. This opened doors for me in many ways – on a professional, but especially on a private level. The recognition of our teamwork in the form of the Adolf Feizlmayr Foundation scholarship was then the cherry on the cake that made my transition into professional life much easier.”
