Celia Russo Promotion of Cross-Cultural Diversity Scholarship

Celia Russo founded the ENPC MBA Paris in 1987 with a strong belief that business education could help build a better world for everyone. This belief is still shared by all members of our Faculty, Staff and Student Body.

To commemorate the work and memory of Celia Russo, the School launched in 2007 a scheme for the award of a number of memorial scholarships. In keeping with Celia's belief in the value of cross-cultural interaction and the strong international focus of the School, the scholarships, which will be either full or partial scholarships, will be open to citizens of all countries, worldwide.
 

Recipients will be selected on the basis of the quality of their application, with the intention of giving candidates, who would otherwise not have the financial means, the opportunity to come to Paris and study for their MBA at the School. Over the years, outstanding candidates from emerging economies in Asia, Africa, South America, Central and Eastern Europe have been awarded substantial or, exceptionally, even full scholarships. Meritorious candidates from other regions with higher, though not fully sufficient, levels of income have been awarded partial scholarships.

The table below illustrates the geographical regions where the Celia Russo Promotion of Diversity Scholarship is applicable, and the number of assigned scholarships per region. This partition comprehends both, Executive and Full Time MBAs scholarship. Please note that, since this scholarship is specifically aimed at expanding the school’s diversity, countries belonging to the UE and USA are not subject to this specific scholarship. As a matter of fact students coming from UE/USA countries already represent the majority of our student body.
