BSB Excellence Scholarship: reduce your tuition fees

The BSB Foundation supports students upon their arrival at the School through an Excellence scholarship program designed to assist with higher education funding. These grants help reduce tuition fees for students joining a BSB program. Awarded based on academic excellence and candidate motivation, they aim to promote equal opportunity and encourage the most promising individuals to pursue their journey at BSB.

Amount of the student scholarship awarded

The BSB Foundation contributes financially to the Excellence Scholarships offered by BSB to Bachelor, Pre-Master, MSc, or MBA students by covering a portion of their tuition fees upon their arrival at the School. This aid is provided in the form of tuition fee waivers ranging from 10% to 100%.

EXCELLENCE SCHOLARSHIP
RECIPIENT

During my year at the School of Wine & Spirits Business, the Excellence Scholarship provided me with invaluable support, both financially and emotionally. It significantly eased the financial pressure of studying abroad, allowing me to focus fully on my studies, my professional development, and building a network within the industry.

Thanks to this scholarship,
I was able to attend major international trade fairs such as Wine Paris and ProWein Düsseldorf. These opportunities allowed me to meet key professionals, deepen my industry knowledge, and build confidence in pursuing a career in the global wine and spirits market. I am also very happy to announce that I recently secured a fixed-term position at Boisset, one of the leading wine groups in France. This role marks a significant step forward in my career and strengthens my determination to grow in this field.

My experience at BSB helped me thrive in a multicultural environment and flourish as a young professional. By easing my financial burden, I was able to dedicate my time and energy to developing the skills and self-confidence I rely on today as I approach the next stage of my career.

I am deeply grateful to the BSB Foundation and the Wine & Spirits Patrons Club for their generous support. It has truly made a difference in my journey.

Through this initiative, the Foundation supports the appeal and diversity of profiles at BSB, encouraging high-potential talent to join and succeed in their academic journey.

David BINDER
2022 Excellence Scholarship recipient
Returning to formal education more than 25 years into my career has been an exciting and rewarding experience. I embraced the challenges of the MSc in Data Science and Organisational Behaviour and enjoyed getting to know my classmates from all over the world. I would like to thank the BSB Foundation for its generous support as I pursued this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Maria BRUSENINA
Recipient of an Excellence Scholarship in 2022
Thanks to BSB and its Foundation, a quarter of my first year of the Master in Management was covered. I am grateful to the school for this support, which allowed me to save money during my first few months in France as an international student and to travel to gain international experience. In my opinion, this tuition fee reduction makes it easier for international students to integrate and helps them get their studies and life abroad off to a good start.
