The Foundation of École des Ponts

The Foundation of École des Ponts, is recognised as being in the public interest (1997), and was been created at the initiative of the alumni association. Its aim is to promote the School both nationally and internationally.

      Company grants

Foreign students taking a double-degree can be sponsored by leading French companies (Vinci Construction, Electricité de France, BTP Consultants, Veolia, Water). Grants are managed by the Foundation.
This sponsorship creates close ties between the company, looking for promising, bi-cultural managers, and the students.
Students receive a grant, enabling them to finance their two-year training period in France, and hold a one-year internship within the company.
The Foundation has set up a scheme of financial awards and of loans: its main priority is to encourage mobility to new destinations.

  • Awarding prizes

      - Thesis of the year award
      -  Best science internship award
      -  Best exchange student from a foreign university award
      -  Professional postmaster certificate of the year award

  • Additional help with the existing grants system
  • Grants if no other possibility of financing is available
  • Loans on trust for particular academic projects
  • Bridging loans on trust

 

In 2007 the Foundation implemented some new partnership initiatives, for the support of Franco-Chinese master's programmes in this University and for welcoming Chinese students.
