Grants for top students

In order to help these highly promising young people, the Foundation decided to establish - under the leadership of Louis Gallois, EADS CEO and honorary chairman of this Foundation - grants for excellence to encourage pupils and students from underprivileged areas to strive for career opportunities in science.

In partnership with the Academy of Créteil, Marseille, Nantes, Toulouse, et Versailles, this initiative will permit to 80 Scholars of Excellence to benefit from this assistance - a support that will continue for ten years for the youngest of them.

In addition to financial support, sponsors from EADS or the EADS Foundation will be chosen to follow and guide these students throughout their studies and during their integration into the professional world.
