HELPING HAND
SCHOLARSHIP
Are you a BSB student experiencing financial difficulties or facing an unexpected life event during your studies?
The BSB Foundation is by your side to support and accompany you in pursuing your education, helping you overcome these obstacles under the best possible conditions.
Apply for a Coup de Pouce grant
The Coup de Pouce grant is financial aid for students at the BSB (Burgundy School of Business) management school who are experiencing financial hardship or facing a life-altering event (loss of a parent, loss of income, major unforeseen circumstances, etc.).
It aims to support students whose living conditions have deteriorated, enabling them to continue their studies at BSB under the best possible circumstances.
In most cases, this aid contributes to covering daily expenses: rent, food, transport, or other essential costs related to student life.
Student grant amount awarded
You may be eligible for a grant of €2,000 or €3,500, depending on your personal situation and, most importantly, the diligence with which you present a clear and well-reasoned case for your financial needs.
This financial aid for students is not intended to cover tuition fees, but rather to assist with living expenses.

BSB also provided me with my very first computer during my first year and covered my entire pre-master's tuition fees. Without this help, I might never have been able to join the school, as I had neither the means to take out a bank loan nor a guarantor with sufficient income. Originally from Mayotte, my family's situation worsened even further after Cyclone Chido, which caused us to lose almost everything.
The support from BSB was a major turning point in my academic journey. Had I studied at another school, I am not sure I would have been able to continue my education.
I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the foundation and the entire BSB team for their support, kindness, and the trust they have placed in me. Thanks to you, I can continue to move forward with hope and look toward the future. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
What are the eligibility requirements for the grant?
To be eligible for the Coup de pouce grant from the BSB Foundation, which covers your living expenses (housing, food, transport, etc.), you must meet several criteria:
- Be a French or international student on the BSB campuses in Dijon, Lyon, or Paris
- Have been studying at BSB for more than one semester
- Be a meritorious student (have good academic results, be diligent in class, be involved in BSB's student life, etc.)
- Have never been sanctioned at BSB by a disciplinary board
- Demonstrate a precarious financial situation (French state/CROUS scholarship holders or otherwise) based on documents such as parents' tax notices or any other proof of social or financial status
What is the application procedure?
You can submit your application for a scholarship during the open call periods on: "E-campus > BSB Foundation Support Request"
When can you apply?
Applications for the Coup de pouce grants are open twice a year: in January and June. Your application will be reviewed by an internal committee and then by the BSB Foundation’s executive committee in the presence of its board members.
Who is eligible for the "Coup de pouce" grant?
It was with happiness that I was able to announce this to my family, who also felt relieved at the thought of not having to provide for my needs for the time being.
Furthermore, they were reassured to see that I am supported in my studies, especially regarding essential matters like the costs incurred by student life in a business school. I thank the BSB Foundation for this donation.
This scholarship allows me to focus more intensely on my academic goals and professional responsibilities. I no longer have to worry about financial issues alongside my studies.
Thanks to this support, I can dedicate myself to academic excellence and to gaining valuable experience through my work, which is essential for paying my rent and other living expenses.
This scholarship is more than just financial aid; it is an investment in my future, allowing me to pursue my studies with determination and confidence. I am committed to making the most of this opportunity and working hard to achieve my academic and professional goals.
Thank you once again for this incredible support, which has had a significant positive impact on my life and that of my family members. I am deeply grateful for the help provided and am motivated to give back to the community in the future.

After my preparatory classes, I joined BSB by conviction, drawn to its international management program. As part of my studies, I had the opportunity to go on an exchange to South Korea (Kyungpook National University), a project I funded by working beforehand.
Today, I want to continue on this path and pursue a double degree in marketing in South Korea (Solbridge Business School), which is a fantastic opportunity but also a financial challenge. Thanks to this €2,000 grant, some of my financial stress has been relieved. It allows me to plan for my plane tickets with more peace of mind and focus entirely on my studies.
Furthermore, alongside my curriculum, I am keen to deepen my learning of Korean, so this support helps me better organize my schedule and balance my academic and linguistic commitments to make the most of these coming years.
I am extremely grateful to the Foundation and BSB for this support, which allows me to pursue my project with greater serenity. Thank you so much for this invaluable help!
Leukemia took my mother when I was 14, and my father’s heart stopped when I was 17. I had no one left even though I was still a minor, and while I have always made sure to be independent, the financial reality remains a daily challenge. I also work outside of my class hours. I cannot afford any slip-ups.
I chose BSB primarily for its Excellence scholarship. Thanks to it, I didn't have to pay my tuition fees, and that is something I will never forget. BSB is a school that reached out to me when I needed it most.
Thanks to the "Coup de pouce" (Helping Hand) scholarship, I will be able to breathe a little easier and focus on what matters: my classes, my search for a work-study placement, and my TOEIC.
I would like to address the donors of the BSB Foundation and simply say THANK YOU. Thank you for allowing me to study under better conditions.
