Our mission
Excelia Foundation… placing PEOPLE at the heart of everything we do!
Created in 2019 under the auspices of France’s leading philanthropy network, the Fondation de France, and resulting from the efforts of its 8 founding members, the aim of the Excelia Foundation is to support the school in strengthening its equal opportunities policy.
The Foundation is committed to assisting the entire Excelian community in three philanthropic areas:
As such, the Foundation supports projects of common interest that place emphasis on the human element through diversity, open-mindedness and entrepreneurial values, and that involve all the school’s stakeholders.
The Foundation’s actions
In line with the school’s values, the Excelia Foundation assists the School in reinforcing its equal opportunities policy through the implementation of tangible actions such as a ‘Call for Scholarship Applications’, open to any student who has already completed one year of study at Excelia, and a ‘Call for Projects’ which is aimed at the entire Excelian community.
