The Solidarity Fund: here to support you throughout your life, whatever challenges it may bring

Faced with a difficult economic situation, EDHEC Alumni offers a support scheme for graduates experiencing proven financial emergencies. This scheme, aligned with the network’s three pillars – SHARE, CARE, DARE – is intended for all graduates facing unforeseen challenges, with an open-minded and non-judgmental approach. Requests are confidential, and anyone involved in handling a case is bound by a confidentiality charter.

Who can benefit from it?

You are eligible if you are experiencing a proven emergency situation linked to a personal, social, or professional setback (for example: bereavement, loss of activity, disability or incapacity following an accident). Your tax residence must be in France.

• If you know EDHEC graduates in this situation, kindly encourage them to contact us. It sometimes takes courage to ask for help.
  
  

Support tailored to your situation

Graduates submitting a request receive a file to complete, which will be handled confidentially by a coach appointed by the Solidarity Fund Committee and the EDHEC Alumni Director. They will determine the most suitable response for each situation: coaching, mentoring, or another form of assistance depending on the need. This support may be accompanied by financial aid, the amount of which will be determined by the Committee.

A spirit of mutual support and solidarity

The Solidarity Fund is now an essential pillar of the services offered by your EDHEC Alumni association. It reinforces the promise we make from the moment you join EDHEC: to support you throughout your life, regardless of the challenges you may face.

“The support I received from the Solidarity Fund allowed me to believe in myself again and to dare to move forward. Today, I have managed to overcome the particularly difficult period I was going through and I finally feel on the right track. I have applied to several opportunities and hope to secure a new position soon. I feel like I have taken back control of my professional future, and I know something positive will come out of this soon.”
