Rennes School of Business Foundation: giving wings to young people’s ambitions
Launched in March 2024, the Rennes School of Business Foundation, housed by the Fondation de France, has a clear mission: to give every young person the means to achieve their ambitions by combating self-censorship and financial barriers to higher education.
Concrete and inspiring actions
In just a year and a half, the Foundation has already made a lasting impression:
- 37 Rennes SB students from modest backgrounds received scholarships of over €3,000 in 2023 and 2024. In 2025, 31 new students will receive support.
- Les Tribuns de la République (March 2025): 18 secondary school pupils from Rennes, mainly from schools in the Priority Education Network, distinguished themselves in a demanding public speaking exercise, with a final presentation at the Nos Futurs Festival in Rennes Métropole.
- EPA mini-enterprise (February 2025): 50 pupils from Tinténiac and the Collège des Gayeulles tried their hand at entrepreneurship, supported by coaches from 60000 Rebonds and students from the school.
- Discovering Paris (April 2025): around twenty middle and high school students from Rennes visited the Senate accompanied by Senator Patru, the premises of Rennes SB – Paris and the Louvre.
- Film concert: after a first edition in 2024 with 100 pupils, the next one, organised by the school’s students, will bring together 200 pupils from schools located in priority neighbourhoods in 2026.
A collective impact thanks to our sponsors
These achievements are made possible thanks to the support of committed partners: Rennes School of Business Alumni, Samsic, EY, BPGO, Roullier, Altair Briochin, Société Générale, Rivacom and GTIE. Together, they share the same ambition: to promote equal opportunities and inclusion for young people in our region.
A reinforced ambition for 2026
With a target of more than €250,000 in funds available by the end of 2025, the Rennes SB Foundation intends to amplify its action in 2026 and reach even more young people, in Brittany and beyond.
Because diversity breeds richness, the Foundation will continue to open up opportunities for those who will shape tomorrow’s society and is counting on everyone’s support to meet this challenge.
