27 "Coup de pouce" grants awarded for a successful start to the academic year

The first committee meeting of the 2025-2026 academic year, held on September 25, 2025, awarded 27 "Coup de Pouce" scholarships of €2,000 each, selected from 79 applications.

‍

These scholarships are designed for deserving and diligent Burgundy School of Business students, both French and international, who are facing financial hardship, enabling them to continue their studies under good conditions and focus fully on their academic success.

‍

This committee also brought together dedicated individuals, including Claire Hyvernat, BSB Foundation Board Member and 1991 Alumna, who provided her expertise and valuable perspective during the deliberations.

‍

In parallel, honor loans were awarded to cover tuition fees for 6 students, thanks to our partner banks:

• Banque Populaire Bourgogne Franche-Comté
• Caisse d’Epargne Bourgogne Franche-Comté
• Crédit Agricole de Champagne-Bourgogne
• Crédit Agricole Franche-Comté

‍

And our support does not stop there: one student was also able to benefit from the apartment made available by the Foundation in partnership with Les Restos du Cœur, as well as monthly food assistance, ensuring comprehensive support and greater peace of mind in their daily life.

Student testimonial: a helping hand that changes everything

‍

‍

‍“ Receiving the "Coup de pouce" scholarship from the BSB Foundation allows me to pursue my Master 2 degree under the best possible conditions.
‍

This scholarship helps me cover my daily living expenses in Lyon, as well as the cost of commuting to my apprenticeship.
‍

Beyond the financial aspect, this scholarship is a real relief during the difficult time I am going through following the passing of my father. It allows me to focus on my studies under better conditions without having to take on a second job.”
