The Francis Bouygues Foundation, set up in June 2005, implements public-interest initiatives in the education sector. Its objective is to help motivated school-leavers with financial difficulties to finance their studies and fulfil their professional ambitions.
At 1 September 2009, more than 230 students had received grants from the Francis Bouygues Foundation.
Why such a foundation?
"I have always found it grossly unfair that gifted and hard-working young people should be prevented from studying for social or financial reasons. Our Foundation will help some of them. I wished this organisation to be named after Francis Bouygues, the founder of our Group, a talented entrepreneur and a staunch defender of merit-based social promotion throughout his life."
