My name is Bhone Myat Zaw and I’m currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Management at Audencia. I’m from Myanmar, and coming to France for my higher education was a life-changing experience. I still remember my first day at Audencia: I was a bit nervous, but also very enthusiastic about meeting students from all over the world. I immediately felt that I was entering a truly international community.
How has the Audencia Foundation scholarship changed your daily life?
The scholarship I received from the Audencia Foundation helped to ease my financial burden a little, especially for everyday expenses such as shopping, transport and school supplies. It may seem modest, but for me it really made a difference. Thanks to this help, I’ve been able to manage my budget better and concentrate more on my studies without constantly worrying about my expenses.
What motivates you most in your studies at Audencia?
What motivates me most at Audencia is the strong sense of community and support between students and professors. I had the opportunity to work on enriching group projects and take courses that really pushed me to think differently. One project that particularly stood out for me was the brand design module, which encouraged me to develop my creativity and gain confidence in presenting my ideas.
