Beneficiary Testimonials
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!
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. It not only alleviates the heavy burden of tuition fees but also allows me to contribute to my family's financial stability by helping them repay their loans. This scholarship enables 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 academic excellence and 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's 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.

This support represents much more than just a financial boost; it allows me to pursue my studies with greater peace of mind and to fully dedicate myself to my academic and professional journey. After my preparatory class, I joined BSB out of conviction, drawn by its international management program. During 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 wish to continue on this path and pursue a double degree in marketing in South Korea (Solbridge Business School), which represents a tremendous opportunity, but also a financial challenge. Thanks to this €2,000 aid, some of my financial stress is relieved. This notably allows me to more calmly plan the purchase of my plane tickets and to fully concentrate on my studies. Furthermore, alongside my studies, I am eager to deepen my Korean language learning, so this aid 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 the school for this support, which allows me to pursue my project with greater peace of mind. Thank you immensely for this invaluable help!
To understand why this support has been essential, I need to tell you a bit 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 even though I've always strived to be independent, financial reality remains a daily challenge. I also work outside of my class hours. I can't afford any luxuries. If I chose BSB, it was mainly for its Excellence scholarship. Thanks to it, I didn't have to pay my tuition fees, and I'll never forget that. BSB is a school that extended a hand to me when I needed it. Thanks to the 'helping hand' scholarship, I'll be able to breathe a little, and now focus on what's essential: my classes, my search for an apprenticeship, 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.

Recipient Testimonials
During my year at the School of Wine & Spirits Business, the Excellence Scholarship has provided tremendous support—both financially and emotionally. It significantly eased the financial pressure of studying abroad, allowing me to focus fully on my academic work, career development, and networking 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, expand my industry knowledge, and strengthen my confidence in pursuing a career in the global wine and spirits market.
I’m also very happy to share that I have recently secured a CDD position with Boisset, one of the leading wine groups in France. This role marks a meaningful step forward in my professional journey and reinforces my determination to grow in this field.
My experience at BSB has helped me thrive in a multicultural environment and grow as a young professional. With less financial burden, I was able to invest my time and energy in developing the skills and confidence I now rely on as I move into 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.
Returning to formal education more than 25 years into my career was an exciting and enriching experience. I embraced 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 its generous support as I pursued this unique opportunity in my life.
Thanks to BSB and its Foundation, a quarter of my first year in the Master in Management program was covered. I thank the school for this support, which allowed me to save money during my first months in France as an international student and to travel to gain international experience. In my opinion, this tuition fee reduction facilitates the integration of international students and contributes to the start of their studies and life abroad.

As a French-American, having grown up in France with an American mother and a French father, the political climate in the United States in 2020 greatly concerned me.

The support from the BSB Foundation has been extremely important to me. Thanks to this scholarship, I haven't had to look for a part-time job to cover my expenses, allowing me to fully concentrate on my studies. It also allows me to dedicate time to wine-related activities, such as cellar visits, tastings, and professional events, which provide practical knowledge and complement what I learn in class. This financial aid not only reduces the pressure associated with living and studying abroad but also gives me the opportunity to grow academically and professionally and make the most of the Wine & Spirits Business program.

Beneficiary Testimonials
I completed a 4-month humanitarian volunteer mission with my wife Marie in Madagascar, in Ankiriririky, a small bush village 15 hours from the capital.
We taught French classes at the village school. Marie is a pediatric nurse, so she spent half her days at the dispensary treating children with specific needs.
The school and the dispensary are run by three nuns, so I also helped them with small tasks, gardening, and DIY outside of class hours.
We went with the Paris Foreign Missions (MEP) association. Going through MEP guaranteed that we would be sent on a truly useful mission. Indeed, we are sent based on our skills, either to Southeast Asia or Madagascar.
We also worked on reforestation projects there, as this is a particularly important issue in people's daily lives.
We are very grateful to Rotary for the €1,000 scholarship they awarded us. This allowed us to fund a large part of my plane ticket and thus make this humanitarian project possible.

Beneficiary Testimonials
Humanitarian project in Brazil – Association "Inclusive nas Artes"
I want to express my deep gratitude to the BSB Foundation and the Pierre Ledoux Foundation for their generous support, which was instrumental in making my stay in Brazil possible under optimal conditions. Thanks to their help, I was able to successfully complete my humanitarian volunteering project with the "Inclusive nas Artes" association.
"Inclusive nas Artes" is a remarkable association dedicated to promoting the inclusion of people with disabilities in all areas of art. Their mission is to make art accessible to everyone, by creating opportunities for people with disabilities to express themselves, create, and actively participate in artistic life. During my stay, I had the honor of working alongside extraordinary people and contributing to artistic projects that had a significant impact on the local community.
The support from the BSB Foundation and the Pierre Ledoux Foundation was crucial for several reasons. Firstly, it allowed me to finance travel and accommodation costs, which freed me from financial worries and enabled me to fully concentrate on my volunteering. Furthermore, thanks to their support, I was able to participate in training sessions and workshops that enriched my skills and helped me be more effective in my role within the association.
This stay not only allowed me to contribute to a cause close to my heart, but it was also an invaluable learning experience. I gained new skills, discovered a rich and diverse culture, and built lasting relationships with incredibly inspiring people.
In conclusion, I am deeply grateful. This support has been a cornerstone of my project, enabling me to realize my dream of contributing to the inclusion of people with disabilities through art. Thanks to you, I had a transformative experience that will continue to positively influence my personal and professional journey.
Internship in Bahrain at LD Export
This internship in Bahrain was an excellent personal, human, and professional experience. It was largely thanks to the support of the BSB Foundation and the Jacques Lambert Foundation that I was able to undertake this project, which was very important to me.
I was able to offer CSR advice, both to the host company and to the many people I met there. I accomplished many tasks and was able to contribute significantly. However, despite my efforts, much remains to be done to improve the quality of life for people in Gulf countries. This project and, consequently, this scholarship allowed me to refine my personal project, which I am convinced will focus on these countries later.
This internship abroad allowed me to get to know myself better and to gain more self-confidence in many situations that I thought would be very stressful before coming here. Beyond the financial boost this scholarship provided, I felt supported in my overall project. It was extremely gratifying to feel this support. So I'm returning to France with a head full of great stories to tell my family and friends.
I would also like to thank the school for their administrative support and the company that allowed me to feel comfortable in this new environment.
Internship in Brazil - Groupe SEB x Arno & Rochedo Foundation
Thanks to your support, I was able to fulfill a dream dear to my heart and discover the cultural and human richness of Brazil. This scholarship offered me the opportunity to grow, both personally and professionally.
During my time with Groupe SEB and the Arno & Rochedo Foundation, I had the opportunity to participate in several meaningful projects, including the renovation of the kitchen and refectory at Fox School, located in Itatiaia (RJ).
This experience allowed me to actively contribute to improving the living and learning environment for children in this community.
I also took part in organizing our Campanha Junina. I was in charge of communication for this event, aimed at collecting and distributing winter clothing for institutions assisting vulnerable women. This mission made me deeply aware of local social realities.
In addition, I participated in the design and implementation of a communication plan, aimed at disseminating information about the foundation's history and actions to the general public.
Thanks to you, I was able to learn a new language, but also a new way of seeing and living life.
Thank you sincerely for your trust and generosity. This experience will forever be etched in my memory as an exceptional human adventure, filled with exchanges, discoveries, and commitment.

Témoignages de bénéficiaires
Mon expérience en tant que Mentee a été extrêmement enrichissante. Elle m’a permis de prendre du recul sur mon parcours, d’identifier clairement mes axes de développement et de bénéficier de conseils personnalisés issus de l’expérience de mon mentor. Les échanges réguliers m’ont aidée à structurer ma réflexion, à mieux définir mes priorités professionnelles et à gagner en confiance dans mes projets.
J’ai également appris à développer mon réseau et à saisir les opportunités lors de salons professionnels, ce qui m’a donné des clés concrètes pour décrocher mon premier emploi. Je recommanderai vivement à tout étudiant ou jeune diplômé de saisir cette opportunité, car elle offre un accompagnement unique qui va au-delà de l’académique : c’est un véritable espace d’écoute, d’apprentissage et de partage.
C’est une chance de bénéficier d’un regard bienveillant et objectif, et de pouvoir s’appuyer sur l’expérience d’un professionnel pour mieux se projeter dans l’avenir.
Le programme de Mentoring a été avant tout une expérience humaine tant sur le plan personnel que professionnel.
J’ai élaboré avec à l’aide de ma Mentor, des axes de réflexion qui m’ont guidé dans ce processus d’accompagnement. J’ai appris à prendre de la hauteur sur mon travail quotidien et à analyser les situations qui me posaient questions.
Grâce à la relation de confiance avec ma Mentor qui a su être à l’écoute, j’ai pu expérimenter, entre deux rendez-vous, les différents conseils qui m’avaient été donnés. Le résultat de ces échanges m’a permis d’acquérir de nouvelles méthodes de pratiques et de reflexes au quotidien.
Ma compatibilité avec ma Mentor a été une source de motivation durant cet accompagnement. J’attendais avec impatience chaque échange car je savais que j’allais y trouver de nouveaux conseils. Selon moi, la clé de la réussite de ce programme est l’engagement dans la durée, dans l’assiduité aux rendez-vous avec de l’envie d’avancer ensemble.
À l’issus du parcours, ma Mentor a pris le temps de venir me rencontrer découvrir l’univers professionnel dans lequel j’évolue quotidiennement : sujet sur lequel nous avions longuement échangé.
Je recommande grandement ce coaching à vous, étudiant ou jeune Alumni.
Très satisfait de cette expérience de mentoring avec ma Mentee. Nous nous sommes enrichis mutuellement de nos échanges avec le souci permanent de définir ensemble (et d’atteindre), lors de chaque entretien, des objectifs de progrès, toujours très concrets et correspondants aux besoins que nous avions identifiés conjointement dès le début du programme. Une belle aventure humaine progressive et conviviale.
Cette expérience de mentorat a été ma première.J’ai eu le plaisir de pouvoir accompagner mon Mentee au cours des différentes séances.Encore bravo à l’équipe qui a procédé à la correspondance des candidatures !Nous nous sommes très bien entendus avec Maxime dès la première visio. Nous avons tout de suite convenu d’un déjeuner qui s’est également fort bien passé. Et cela n’a fait que continuer jusqu’à la fin du mentorat.
Nous avons eu en effet une qualité et rapidité d’échange et Maxime a pu atteindre ses objectifs.Cette belle collaboration s’est terminée par le Dîner de Gala de la Fondation.
Nous sommes toujours en contact avec Maxime, dont l’alternance s’est transformée en contrat.
Pour rajouter au plaisir de cette belle aventure, il y a eu une belle ambiance au sein de l’équipe mentorat. En espérant que cela sera les prochaines éditions, car, comme d’autres mentors, je rempile !

Grâce à la Fondation BSB et son mécène la Caisse d’Épargne de Bourgogne Franche-Comté, j’ai pu faire les études qui me plaisent.
En effet, dès ma première année en école de commerce, ils m’ont accordé une bourse d’étude. Sans cette dernière, je n’aurais pas été en capacité de suivre le parcours grande école de BSB. C’est alors avec un poids en moins sur les épaules que j’ai entamé ma formation.Tout au long de l’année, j’ai pu compter sur la Fondation, que cela soit pour la suite de mes études ou pour mon souci d’ordinateur. Lorsque le mien m’a lâché, ils m’ont gracieusement fait un don d’ordinateur afin que je puisse étudier correctement.
Ainsi, grâce à la Fondation, je peux poursuivre sereinement mes études. J’ai les outils et l’aide qu’il me fallait. C’est agréable de se sentir soutenue et encouragée.
Je ne sais peut-être pas où je serai dans dix ans, mais je suis convaincue que grâce à leur aide, je serai la personne que je souhaiterais être, en ayant fait les études que je voulais.

Revenir à l'éducation formelle plus de 25 ans après le début de ma carrière a été une expérience passionnante et enrichissante. J'ai relevé les défis du programme MSc in Data Science and Organisational Behaviour et j'ai apprécié de faire la connaissance de mes camarades de classe du monde entier. J'aimerais remercier la Fondation BSB pour son soutien généreux alors que je poursuivais cette opportunité unique dans ma vie.
Grâce à BSB et sa Fondation un quart de ma première année de Master en Management a été pris en charge. Je remercie l’école pour cette aide qui m’a permis d’économiser pendant mes premiers mois en France en tant qu’étudiante étrangère et de voyager pour acquérir de l’expérience à l’international. Selon moi, cette réduction des frais de scolarité facilite l’intégration des étudiants internationaux et contribue au commencement de leurs études et de leur vie à l’étranger.

I look forward to using my new skills to start my career.
Grands Chais Excellence Scholarships
8 beneficiaries supported since 2024
In 2024, the BSB Foundation was pleased to initiate a new patronage with Les Grands Chais de France, a key player in the wine industry. As part of this commitment, the company has chosen to support students of the School of Wine & Spirits Business by funding Excellence scholarships of €2,500.
Awarded based on academic merit and engagement in the program, these scholarships are for students enrolled in the CIVS Master's (International Wine and Spirits Trade) and MSc Wine Management programs in Dijon.
This initiative embodies a shared commitment to recognizing merit, strengthening ties between the professional world and education, and actively contributing to the emergence of tomorrow's talents in the wine and spirits sector.
The support from the BSB Foundation has been incredibly important to me. Thanks to this scholarship, I haven't had to look for a part-time job to cover my expenses and can fully concentrate on my studies. It also allows me to dedicate time to wine-related activities, such as winery visits, tastings, and professional events, which provide me with practical knowledge and complement what I learn in class. This financial aid not only reduces the pressure of living and studying abroad but also gives me the opportunity to flourish academically and professionally and make the most of the Wine & Spirits Business program. I am very grateful for this support, which will help me build my future career in the wine industry.
