THE FACC FOUNDATION PRESENTS

About
the FACC Foundation

115 recipients · 12 years · over 1 million dollars of scholarships

The French-American Chamber of Commerce Foundation (FACC Foundation) was launched in 2012 to sponsor the education of the next generation of transatlantic business leaders. The patronage is done through the highly selective “Serge Bellanger French American Business Scholarship Program,” named in honor of a beloved past president, who headed the FACC for over 30 years.

For the past 12 years, the FACC Foundation has provided over $1 million in financial support to French students seeking to pursue an MBA in the U.S., and to American students who wish to a Master’s degree or a Mastère Specialisé in a business-related discipline in France. The Scholarships are $10,000 each and are allotted to pay exclusively academic tuition.

The FACC Foundation Gala is one of the most exclusive events within the French-American community,
gathering friends and business partners for an evening of high-level networking,
entertainment, fine dining, live auction and so much more.
