The French-American Chamber of Commerce Foundation (FACC Foundation) was launched in 2012 to sponsor the training and education of the next generation of transatlantic business leaders. Through its highly selective “Serge Bellanger French-American Business Scholarship Program”, the FACC Foundation provides financial support to French students seeking to pursue an MBA in the U.S., and to American students who wish to pursue an MBA, a Master’s degree or a Mastère Specialisé in a business-related discipline in France. Every year, the FACC Foundation provides multiple, merit-based scholarships. Each scholarship is worth $10,000 and exclusively covers academic tuition. To date, the FACC Foundation has awarded over $1 million in scholarships.
Over the past decade, the FACC Foundation has empowered more than 100 laureates to pursue graduate degrees at prestigious U.S. Ivy League Universities and French Grandes Ecoles. These scholars have gone on to make substantial contributions at their post-graduate employers, transcending borders and sectors. By backing the FACC Foundation, your organization can assert itself as a pivotal supporter of transatlantic education and leadership, shaping the future of global business leaders.
By supporting the FACC Foundation, companies promote diversity in leadership, foster global collaboration, address educational equity, fulfill corporate social responsibility, and build inclusive workplaces.
