EQUALITY

BOURSE
COUP DE POUCE

Vous êtes étudiant à BSB et vous traversez des difficultés financières ou faites face à un accident de la vie au cours de votre scolarité ?  

La Fondation BSB est à vos côtés pour vous soutenir et vous accompagner dans la poursuite de vos études, afin de vous aider à surmonter ces obstacles dans les meilleures conditions possibles.

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.

Alice Anastas
Student recipient in 2024
I had the joy of receiving financial aid from the BSB Foundation. This support represents a relief of great importance. Indeed, it guarantees me a certain level of comfort for my move to Lyon and spares me the stress related to expenses such as rent, the security deposit, and potential agency fees.

It was with happiness that I was able to announce it to my family, who also felt relieved at the idea of not having to provide for my needs for the time being.

Furthermore,
they were reassured to see that I am supported in my curriculum, especially for essential subjects like the costs incurred by student life in a business school. I thank the BSB Foundation for this donation.

Student recipient in 2024
I am deeply grateful for the generous scholarship I have been awarded. This financial support comes at a crucial time, as my family and I are facing significant financial difficulties due to the current economic situation in Peru.

This scholarship allows me to focus more intensely on my academic goals and professional responsibilities. I no longer have to worry about my financial concerns alongside my studies.

Thanks to this support,
I can dedicate myself to excellence in my classes and to acquiring 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; it allows 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 I am motivated to give back to the community in the future.

This support represents much more than just a financial boost; it allows me to pursue my studies with greater peace of mind and to dedicate myself fully to my academic and professional path.

After my preparatory class, I joined BSB by conviction, drawn by its international manager program. As part of my studies, I had the opportunity to go on an exchange to South Korea (Kyungpook National University), a project I financed by working beforehand.

Today, I wish to continue on this path and prepare a double degree in marketing in South Korea (Solbridge Business School), which represents a wonderful opportunity but also a financial challenge.
Thanks to this €2,000 grant, part of my financial stress is relieved. This allows me, in particular, to plan for my plane tickets with more peace of mind and to focus fully on my studies.

Furthermore, in parallel with my curriculum, I am keen to deepen my learning of Korean,
so this support allows me to better organize my schedule and balance my academic and linguistic commitments to succeed as best as possible in the coming years.

I am extremely grateful to the Foundation and BSB for this support, which allows me to pursue my project with more serenity. Thank you infinitely for this precious help!

To understand why this support has been essential, I need to tell you a little about my situation. I lost my parents young—too young.

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 wasn't yet an adult, and although 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 excess.

If I chose BSB, it was mainly 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.

Thanks to the "Coup de pouce" scholarship, I will be able to breathe a little and focus now on what is essential: my classes, my search for a work-study program, 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 in better conditions.
