Emergency fund to help students in serious difficulty

Dear Alumni, 

We are thinking of you and all our graduates in this unprecedented and complex time. We are mindful of you in this unique and complex period, which confronts us all with new personal, professional and humanitarian challenges.

This is a particularly critical time for many of our students. Some have already expressed financial difficulties following the cancellation of a work placement or student job. Others can no longer receive money from their families.

And everything leads us to believe that, in the coming weeks, there will be even more of them asking us for help.

Therefore, we have decided, in coordination with the EDHEC Foundation, to activate an Emergency Fund in order to allocate exceptional COVID-19 grants and aid to those most in need.

At the time of writing, we have already awarded a dozen grants, and applications continue to come in. 

These exceptional grants can only be funded with the generous support of all. We are therefore counting on you, who loyally support us, to accompany this unique initiative today, guided by the humanitarian values that are so important to us. 

The school will pledge its support alongside yours: EDHEC will match each donation, up to a total of €200,000 released for this purpose. 

It is in such moments of uncertainty that the solidarity of our community will display its greatest strength. 

We would like to thank you in advance for this precious support that you will extend to our students, sincerely and warmly.

Take care.
