Help us develop economic knowledge for a better world
Philanthropic support has played a significant role in the creation of the Toulouse School of Economics (TSE) and in its development ever since.
After two remarkable fundraising campaigns where TSE raised €33M euros from corporate donations the first time (2008 – 2012) and €56M euros from both corporate and individual donations the second time (2016 – 2020), today we would like to continue our fundraising efforts to meet the needs of our students and young researchers (PhD).

ABOUT
Founded in 2022, Donation committee’s primary objective is to examine received donations and redistribute them to students pursuing their studies at TSE. Comprising 5 members, the Committee is committed to balancing the expectations of generous donors with the practical needs of students, thereby providing a stepping stone toward a promising academic future at TSE. Efficient fund management and the promotion of the donation campaign are at the forefront of the Committee's concerns.
MEMBERS
The committee members come from various departments within TSE, representing research, education, and administration. Their diversity ensures full representation of voices and the community's needs, fostering informed discussions during the quarterly scholarship meetings.
The key concern of the Committee is to harmonize donor expectations with students' financial needs. As donors have a choice of three causes for their donations, it is vital for the Committee to respect these choices when awarding scholarships.
MISSIONS
-
Funds optimization: ensure an effective and considered management of available resources
-
Dialogs and deliberations: engage in constructive debate to ensure maximum impact of funds
-
Focused scholarships: redistribute donations in the form of scholarships in accordance with rigorous, pre-established criteria that meet donors' aspirations
