By: GWL Team | Monday, 27 November 2023

The Laidlaw Foundation and HEC Paris have joined forces in a historic cooperation to create a beacon of opportunity for exceptional women wishing to earn an MBA. The collaboration announced the Laidlaw Scholars Program, which intends to provide ten full scholarships every year, paying 100 percent of college expenses, to excellent women with high leadership potential who confront financial challenges.

HEC Paris acknowledges the latent potential of countless remarkable women who have been discouraged from pursuing an MBA due to financial restrictions. The Laidlaw Scholars Program aims to break down these obstacles by encouraging women from varied backgrounds to dream big and contribute to the HEC community.

The idea extends beyond financial assistance by providing Laidlaw Scholars with access to an alumni mentorship program. A robust network of empowered women will be fostered by accomplished female graduates who will give mentoring, career assistance, and industry insights.

The program's tripartite purpose is to encourage women to attain their full potential, close the gender gap in leadership, and promote inclusivity. Susanna Kempe, CEO of the Laidlaw Foundation, underlines the foundation's dedication to assisting women in advancing to the C-suite.

Dean EloEc Peyrache underlines the scholarship's importance in advancing gender equality as HEC Paris commemorates 50 years of gender diversity. The HEC Foundation's President, Olivier Sevillia, expressed joy in expanding this opportunity abroad, underlining the MBA program's transformational influence.

Laidlaw, prospective Scholars are invited to contact HEC and share their experiences with the recruitment staff. The first stage in this revolutionary project will be the distribution of vouchers paying the GMAT exam price.
