Beneficiary testimonies
Thanks to the BSB Foundation. The Excellence Scholarship program allowed me to finance the Pre-Master year and to reward my efforts after two years of ECS preparatory class. I was thus able to join the Lyon campus where I was able to thrive thanks to caring teachers and create solid friendships within my class.
Returning to formal education more than 25 years after starting my career has been an exciting and rewarding experience. I took on the challenges of the MSc in Data Science and Organisational Behaviour program and enjoyed getting to know my classmates from around the world. I would like to thank the BSB Foundation for their generous support as I pursued this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
I am so thankful to the BSB Foundation. Thanks to her, I received an Excellence Scholarship when I registered. Today, I am taking my courses in very good conditions and I am fulfilled. This initiative is truly remarkable and should be encouraged.
Thanks to the merit scholarship from the BSB Foundation, I can continue my first year of an English-speaking Bachelor in good conditions at the Dijon campus. BSB has always been a dream since I met it, and the stock market motivates me more to pursue my ambition: to become a business turnaround. It is an internationally colored profession, which requires involvement and will. It allows you to always progress, and the school represents all these values in a warm atmosphere.
This scholarship granted by the BSB Foundation was first of all a great financial relief, but also a mental relief, as it is the reward for my efforts during my preparatory class. It allowed me to set a goal and to motivate myself to join the Burgundy School of Business. I intend to use this scholarship wisely, by achieving my academic and professional goals, not to mention the financial support you have given me.
Thanks to BSB and its Foundation, a quarter of my first year of Master in Management was taken care of. I thank the school for this help, which allowed me to save money during my first months in France as a foreign student and to travel to gain international experience. In my opinion, this reduction in tuition fees facilitates the integration of international students and contributes to the start of their studies and their lives abroad.
Thank you very much to the BSB Foundation for its generosity and for awarding this merit-based scholarship, which will greatly help me for the rest of my studies at the School, but also allow me to more calmly achieve my goals that I ardently want to achieve. Indeed, in my opinion, BSB represents a real opportunity for success both academically and professionally over the long term. But of course, if you want to join an establishment offering high-quality services, you must also bear the costs. And that is why I see this not as costs, but rather as an investment in the future, because I was convinced and remain convinced that BSB will allow me to achieve a great professional career.
It is a huge pleasure and a privilege for me to be able to benefit from this help. Thanks to your generosity, my student life is much easier. I can finally focus as much as possible on my studies and enjoy an unforgettable experience at BSB.
This merit-based scholarship from the BSB Foundation will allow me to devote myself 100% to my studies. I feel supported, it encourages me to continue doing my best to be a student worthy of BSB. I have a lot of ideas and plans for my years studying at our school. I hope that one day I will be able to help BSB students reach their goals just like you did for me.
Thank you to the BSB Foundation for giving me this chance, for making it easy for me to start my small business, and for supporting my first steps towards my ideal future career.

Beneficiary testimonies
The BSB Foundation allowed me to have a better quality of life during my stay in France. You changed my life and thanks to the help I was able to focus on my studies and I didn't have to worry about the significant daily costs of food, transportation, housing, and more. Thanks again to the donors who are helping us move forward, I assure you that I will do everything I can to influence the lives of others in the best way possible thanks to everything I have learned during my studies.
The BSB Foundation scholarship has helped me a lot in my student life. As an international Bachelor in Business and Marketing student, the BSB Foundation scholarship allowed me to fully focus on my studies and not have to worry about certain economic aspects. In addition, this grant has helped me to devote more time to the development of personal entrepreneurial projects, thanks to the BSB Foundation!
Having been in France for a little over 3 years to continue my studies, including 2 years spent in ECT preparatory class, BSB was a favorite during the exams. A warm school where everyone is at home. Usually I did not encounter real financial difficulties and I always learned to fend for myself. However, this year, with inflation, I started to encounter some difficulties and the BSB Foundation came to my aid. The benevolence and kindness of this Foundation allowed me to obtain this scholarship which will be of great help to me. In particular, it will allow me to pay my bills and to get an advance on future expenses. I think this scholarship is great because coming from Senegal, aid is very complicated to get and coming to a foreign country and getting help is wonderful.
First of all, the help from the Foundation helped me to regain financial balance, but above all to feel better psychologically. This help allowed me to relaunch myself in my projects that I could no longer complete. In particular, starting my business that I wanted to start some time ago. I would like to thank the BSB Foundation again for their support in my studies.
The BSB Foundation allowed me to continue my Master 2 Finance on a work-study basis more calmly. Thanks to this help, I was able to seize a professional opportunity that was tempting me and settle in a new region. Today, I therefore have an apprenticeship position in Nancy and I am continuing my training at the Lyon campus. It is a chance to have the support of my school both in my studies but also in my professional career.
As a student on the Dijon campus, and currently at the end of a gap year after having chosen to complete my Master 1 in two years, I wanted to thank the BSB Foundation. In a difficult context for everyone and especially for students, the BSB Foundation allowed me to finance the end of my school career. From now on, I can approach the rest of my studies more calmly.
When I applied for the scholarship, I did not believe it any more and then, some time later, I received the famous validation email telling me that I had been selected to obtain this scholarship. Honestly, I did not expect it at all and I was more than thrilled, because this scholarship came at the right time. This allowed me to have the necessary funds and to settle properly in my new home in Paris, for my work-study program. I am very honored to have been selected and I could meet the expectations of the BSB Foundation.

BSB and the Foundation fund the tuition fees of our students and The Roots Fund all of their living expenses.

We're looking forward to continuing to build a bridge from one side of the pond to the other, rooted together.
Ikimi Dubose-Woodson
Roots Fund Executive Director
Franco-American, having grown up in France with an American mother and a French father, the political climate in the United States in 2020 deeply concerned me. I then approached the Roots Fund, which had just been created, in order to find opportunities and mentoring mechanisms for marginalized communities in the wine industry. [...]

Beneficiary testimonies
The help of the BSB Foundation allowed me to live a unique experience, that of studying abroad in the most prestigious wine region. This opportunity allowed me to acquire my own identity, to learn about different cultures and perspectives while focusing on wine and spirits. This has strengthened and will continue to strengthen my trust and improve my network, not only in the wine business but also in life. This support has not only allowed me to study at BSB, but it will also help me acquire the most important things, mentoring, inclusion, and tools to succeed in the wine industry. Thank you again for helping to make my dream a reality.
This scholarship allowed me to immerse myself in the world of wine, spirits, and business in a unique and incredible way. This experience has completely changed the trajectory of my career for the better and I am forever grateful to The Roots Fund, the BSB Foundation, and the Rooted in France Fellowship.
I am extremely grateful to the BSB Foundation for the many opportunities it has given me. Thanks to this scholarship, I was able to leave my home country for the first time, learn from experienced leaders, and develop my network in the wine market while studying in the heart of Burgundy. I can't wait to use my new skills to start my career.
