Of your donation is directly allotted to our “Equal opportunities” programme. We do not charge any handling fee.

This figure corresponds to the number of students who have benefitted from our “Equal opportunities” programme since its foundation for an amount of 468?000?€. Our 52 scholarship holders, representing 12,7% of our headcount, were sponsored thanks to a total donation of more than 150?000?€.

That is the proportion of students we wish to help being sponsored each year, thanks to your donations, 10% of whom with a full scholarship.

Your sponsorships along with our School’s input have enabled us to fuel our programme up to 750?000?€ since its creation in 2008; 80?000?€ of which solely on the year 2016, thus guaranteeing our scholarship holders to be sponsored all throughout their curriculum at Camondo.
