That is why François Schneider wanted to provide financial assistance for young people to pursue their training beyond high school so that they can achieve the goals they have set for themselves, whereas their family background would otherwise have made this impossible due to a lack of resources.
To be as effective as possible, the Foundation focuses its efforts on the two departments of France to which François Schneider is most closely linked by his own background, Yonne and Haut-Rhin, awarding almost 200 higher education scholarships each year. The scholarships allocated are worth between 500 and 5,000 euros, depending upon the candidates’ individual financial situations, but also their particular objectives.
