The "Center for Diversity" fund
Today: a multidimensional support
While strong social and gender inequalities persist in higher education, the CentraleSupélec Foundation, already strongly committed to equal opportunity through an ambitious scholarship program, has decided to go even further by creating this “Center for Diversity” fund.
This fund supports the School’s actions aimed at making CentraleSupélec an increasingly open and inclusive school for all, regardless of their differences, by allowing :
To introduce engineering studies to underprivileged groups and young women, to encourage their ambitions and to support them in their orientation, the Center for Diversity supports for example:
- Tutoring and mentoring actions conducted with high school students by student associations such as Oser or Espérance en béton ;
- The organization of the Summer Camp for high school students;
- The “CAP Prépa” program to support scholarship holders entering preparatory classes and better prepare them for these decisive years for their future.
To act in favor of social openness and gender equality throughout schooling, the Center for Diversities supports in particular:
- Elective courses dedicated to these subjects (required for graduation)
- Role-playing courses dedicated to the issue of sexism
- Training of association leaders and development of communication tools
- Sexist and Sexual Violence Prevention Activities
To better support students with motor disabilities, visual impairments, hearing impairments or autism spectrum disorders, the Center for Diversity supports, for example:
- Facilities to keep campuses and student housing 100% accessible
- Actions to raise awareness of disability among all students and staff of the school
- Training of tutors dedicated to supporting young people with disabilities
- Handisport at school
- Student projects and innovations by the School’s researchers aimed at improving the lives of people with disabilities.
Donor-initiated funds
The CentraleSupélec Foundation offers its individual and corporate donors the possibility of creating funds for projects that are particularly important to them.
These include, for example, the Parcours Réussite fund created at the initiative of NGE Chairman Joël Rousseau (ECP 1975). The purpose of this program is to provide scholarships to students at Centrale Casablanca, which aims to train the elite leaders of tomorrow’s Africa. Thanks to this fund, about 50 students each year receive an average of €1700 in scholarships.
