The ESSEC Foundation
The mission of the ESSEC Foundation is to support the development of ESSEC in the short and long term, through the funding of social scholarships, the transformation of the Cergy campus, and support for academic excellence.

« I am grateful to ESSEC for this freedom to undertake my own program. I thank the Social Scholarship Foundation for giving me the serenity to undertake and succeed in my ESSEC experience. »

Isabelle Urbah, Donor, former scholarship student

« Thanks to ESSEC, I had the opportunity to spend part of my studies in the United States where I discovered the strength of American universities. »

Long-term development of the school
Thanks to ESSEC, I had the opportunity to spend part of my studies in the United States where I discovered the strength of American universities. They rely on generous endowment funds that allow them to consider long-term development strategies. When the endowment fund was created by the ESSEC Foundation, I immediately responded favorably to the call. For me, it is a question of committing myself over time to ESSEC and to help provide our school with sustainable resources to enable it to compete with the best.

« The aim of the project is to offer an experience that meets the expectations of students, teachers, and companies. »

« This is the award that represents the recognition of those for whom the school has existed since 1907, namely its students. »

Aurélien Colson, 2020 Teaching Excellence Award 2021

« 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. »

« Beyond equal opportunities, social and cultural diversity is a source of wealth for ESSEC. I continue to give so that as many students as possible have access to ESSEC teaching. »
