The Foundation in a nutshell
The Foundation
Since it was created in 1993, under the umbrella of the Fondation de France - leader of philanthropy in France - the Foundation of emlyon business school has been supporting projects aiming at training informed managers, developing the entrepreneurial spirit and promoting social diversity, in an international environment.
It has been an honour to preside over the emlyon Foundation from 2021 to 2025, a school that has given me the opportunity to realise my projects. I wanted to help give the same opportunity to many young people.
Make a donation
As part of the School's strategic plan “Resonance 2028”, in which social and environmental responsibility constitute the red thread for all the school's activities, the Foundation is becoming an essential tool and means of leverage to assert the social policy of emlyon, increase the commitment of benefactors and alumni, stimulate the emlyon community and promote the outreach of the emlyon brand.
What are donations for?
Each donation to the emlyon Foundation is paid back to students in need. The solidarity and human links are really what is being built between benefactors wanting to share and the young beneficiaries.

Projects to be financed
The Foundation's mission: at our own level- within emlyon -to provide corrective measures for society's issues of social determinism, self-censorship, and so on.
This means empowering young people from modest backgrounds with potential to access a high level of education, and consequently, employability that reflects their abilities and aspirations, as well as the needs of companies. In other words, it means offering them a bright.
This scholarship represents much more than just financial support. It has allowed me to reduce my working hours alongside my studies and focus fully on my education and professional projects. This support is a true source of motivation and a recognition of the efforts made.
Thank you to the Foundation for this valuable help, which makes a real difference in my academic journey.
