Our news

Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, ESCP has launched ESCP4Ukraine, a new academic programme for refugees. This course is 100% free of charge, combines classes on culture, management, and local language as well as some mentoring. It is directed towards higher education students to allow them to pursue their studies, and towards professionals willing to quickly find a job or create their company.

The first session started in April in Paris with 50 Ukrainian students. During eight weeks, programme participants will be trained in European management, English, French language and culture. They will be coached by professors, alumni and student volunteers and will learn how to write a cover letter, a CV and prepare for an interview.

The ESCP Foundation financed all the material for these courses, as well as meetings events, and we are proud of that! Congratulations to ERA (ESCP Refugees Assistance) for their commitment and dynamism.

Thank you to all donors.

After a year-long break due to the Covid health crisis, donations and pledges
resumed their momentum in 2021 and we thank you for your renewed generosity.
This demonstrates the attachment of Alumni to their School, the ever-increasing
attractiveness of our students and their education for recruiting companies.

We are celebrating this year the 10th anniversary of the ESCP Foundation officially recognised of public utility and over €32 million raised! 

From its creation, the Foundation’s ambition was to support the most deserving students and to support our brand and diplomas throughout the world. We have dedicated over €8.5 millions to support Equal Opportunity and we have developed innovative programmes to recruit the best talents for ESCP.   

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Foundation, join-in the generosity and participate to our fundraising initiative!Now recognised as the European school of reference, both in terms of excellence and of experience, ESCP aims for 20% scholarship students in all programmes by 2025 and to transform its 6 campuses to become sustainable, digital and inclusive. In the context of the Ukrainian crisis, we are supporting several ad-hoc actions, such as financing studies and emergency grants for refugee students.  

Your support is essential for our projects. 

Together, let’s celebrate 10 years of support to our deserving students and 10 years of support to the dynamic of our great School!

Thank you in advance for your support.

We are dreadfully witnessing the return of war in Europe, and of course our thoughts are with the people in Ukraine and our Ukrainian students.

As the true foundations of ESCP are based on an identity and values that are profoundly European and humanistic, we firmly believe in a European model of management. European education and higher education of excellence appear to be, today more than ever, necessary to defend our ideas and our democraties.
In order to face the situation, ESCP and its community have launched several initiatives to help our students and Ukrainian refugees: 

• Reinforcement of our scholarship programme through the introduction of emergency grants directed to our students from Eastern Europe and also the creation of 10 grants representing 100% of tuition fees for new Ukrainian students who can join ESCP free of charge next September.

• Psychological support is available for our Ukrainian and Russian students and all those affected directly or emotionally by this situation.

• Funding for the repatriation of our students currently in an exchange programme in Russia.

• Launch of ESCP4U (ESCP for Ukraine): a certificate combining culture, language and management classes as well as mentoring for Ukrainian refugees whether they are students or professionals. This will be offered free of charge on our 6 European campuses with the objective to welcome 300 participants in 2022.

 We would also like to congratulate all students and alumni who are implementing collections of basic essentials on our different campuses.

You can support our ESCP actions by making a donation to the ESCP Foundation through the helloasso payment platform here.

Thank you for your support.
