Supporting Dual Excellence Projects
Artists & Elite Athletes, Student Entrepreneurs
The Grenoble INP Foundation supports students who, alongside their studies, are pursuing a demanding project in the fields of elite sports, the arts, or entrepreneurship.
These scholarships allow them to more easily balance their commitments with their academic studies and to fully develop their potential.
These programs are intended for:
• High-level artists who pursue a demanding artistic practice alongside their studies.
• High-level athletes engaged in a recognized competitive sport.
• Student entrepreneurs who are developing an impactful entrepreneurial project.
“TOLV was founded with the support of Grenoble INP – UGA during our college years. As student entrepreneurs, we received support from the Foundation in the form of a grant, which enabled us to get started. A press release was also picked up by France 3, which helped us secure our first clients, prospects, and employees. All the support provided by the school and its Foundation enabled us to get started and stand on our own two feet. In the future, we plan to continue our collaboration with Grenoble INP – UGA, whether through engineering projects or through the network surrounding the school, with the aim of fostering the Grenoble entrepreneurial ecosystem.”

The scholarship program is funded by donations from alumni, parents of students, and staff at Grenoble INP–UGA, as well as from the founders and partner companies. This commitment reflects a genuine spirit of intergenerational solidarity among engineers, enabling our recipients to successfully complete their studies and pursue their goals with peace of mind.
In return, by signing the scholarship recipient charter, recipients agree to attend classes and take exams diligently, to notify the Foundation of any changes in their circumstances, and to serve as active participants and ambassadors for the scholarship program.
