What they’re going through isn’t visible. Your support, however is.

A disability, an illness, caring for a loved one, or bereavement: some situations aren’t immediately apparent, but they play a significant role in a student’s academic journey. The Audencia Foundation already supports students with disabilities and is expanding its support this year to include students who are ill, serving as caregivers, or grieving.

An Expanding Initiative

In 2025–2026, Mission Handicap supported 337 students, compared to 86 two years earlier. Twenty-six scholarships were awarded to students with disabilities, and 34 hours of tutoring were provided. This year, the Foundation is expanding its support to include students dealing with illness, student caregivers, and students who have lost a loved one, so they can continue their academic journey under favorable conditions.

 

“Our studies shape our future, but they can be disrupted by our present.” — Juliette, a student in the Grande École Program and president of Cheer Up Audencia
