HEC Paris and Sanofi Launch Scholarship Initiative to Support Future Leaders in Life Sciences

HEC Paris is proud to announce a new initiative with Sanofi to support the next generation of leaders in the healthcare and life sciences sectors. Through this collaboration, Sanofi will fund up to 10 scholarships annually for participants in the HEC Paris MBA program, each covering 75% of tuition fees. 

The Sanofi Life Sciences Scholarship is designed to attract and empower high-potential professionals with backgrounds in healthcare and related fields. Eligible candidates include but are not limited to medical doctors, veterinarians, life sciences researchers, senior executives from pharmaceutical companies across functions, and engineers working in medical technologies such as imaging, ultrasound, and medical devices. 

The initiative reflects a shared commitment from HEC Paris and Sanofi to foster leadership talent capable of addressing the complex challenges facing global healthcare systems. 

“The future of healthcare depends on leaders who can bridge science, innovation, and management,” said Audrey Duval, President of Sanofi France. “Through this collaboration with HEC Paris, we are proud to support talented professionals from across the life sciences ecosystem in developing the strategic and leadership skills needed to drive meaningful impact for patients and society.” 

“At HEC Paris, we are committed to developing leaders who can make a meaningful impact across industries and society,” said Brad Harris, Associate Dean of MBA Programs at HEC Paris. “This initiative with Sanofi allows us to further strengthen the diversity and expertise within our MBA cohort, while supporting outstanding candidates from the life sciences sector in accelerating their leadership journey.” 

The scholarships are awarded to candidates admitted to the HEC Paris MBA program. There is no separate application process: all admitted candidates who meet the eligibility criteria are automatically considered during the admissions process.
