Your impact on students
Revealing and nurturing talent lies at the heart of our mission. Through our scholarship and support programs, we empower more than 1,000 talented French and international students each year, both on campus and earlier in their academic journey, from high school through preparatory classes, by providing need-based and merit-based scholarships.
Thanks to donor generosity and the expansion of our outreach initiatives, the proportion of students receiving need-based scholarships has tripled since 2007. In the 2024-2025 academic year, nearly 28% of students entering the Grande École Program, whether in the final year of the Bachelor's curriculum or through direct admission to the Master's level, benefited from a Foundation scholarship awarded on the basis of financial need.
