The Foundation’s goal is to promote talent, support teaching excellence and enhance the school’s international reputation - thus contributing to ESSEC’s long-term development.
Highlights
“How can we build the ESSEC of the future as a reference for prospective students and professors, for Alumni, businesses and institutions? How can we make ESSEC a top ranking, internationally renowned business school, not only on paper but for businesses, the academic world and society at large? As public subsidies are waning, I have a very ambitious vision for ESSEC’s future. Thank you to each and every one of you for your commitment to our School.”

The ESSEC Foundation Awards have been rewarding ESSEC's Faculty for 5 years, attesting to the long-lasting and fruitful collaboration between the Foundation, the Faculty and ESSEC Executive Management.
As an unmissable annual event for the whole community, the ESSEC Foundation Awards highly contribute to the visibility of our School's academic achievements. These are all the more essential as ESSEC Business School takes up the challenge of being recognised as a reference in international business schools and a leader in its field that combines singularity and excellence. Moreover, these awards attest to the great support of ESSEC Foundation donors to this ambition as well as to the faculty members who contribute daily to make it possible.
Hosted by the Paris region’s Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCIR Paris Île-de-France), this 5th edition rewarded Teaching Excellence, Educational Experience, and Research. 8 laureates have been awarded a prize. As beneficiaries and contributors for this excellence, the Dean's List students have also been rewarded.

Each year, the ESSEC Foundation gathers major donors for a dinner that is always very much appreciated as an opportunity to meet and share a very special moment. The last one took place on Wednesday, 6th December, 2017, at the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Thierry Fritsch, President of the ESSEC Foundation, warmly thanked everyone for his/her commitment to the School’s development.
Vincenzo Esposito Vinzi, Dean and President of ESSEC, shared his ambition to turn ESSEC into a more innovative and connected, a more relevant and impactful and even a more international Business School.
NB: the Dinner for Major Donors gathers every donor whose total donations (including pledges) amount to €15 000 or more (ie. from Silver category to Diamond category) since 2004.
“The income from the endowment fund will help the school long-term to increase its activities in favor of social diversity, and support its international development in a highly competitive context.”
“We wanted to find a way for our class to support young students by helping finance their studies. We’re fully aware that the financial situation of some students can be an obstacle to joining ESSEC.”

The Foundation scholarship determined my choice of coming to study at ESSEC. If it hadn’t existed, I would simply not have been able to come to the School. I would like to thank the donors who have had a huge impact on my career thanks to this scholarship.
“We’ve chosen to support ESSEC’s academic staff, which for us is instrumental to the school’s development - both in France and internationally.”
“As a donor, you are a major contributor to ESSEC’s development in France and internationally. 110 years after its creation, ESSEC remains faithful to the pioneering spirit of its founders and is preparing for the future with the same ambition and conquering spirit.”
“My teaching is inspired by the idea that each of my student is unique”
