THE FOUNDATION'S SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMME
The Grenoble INP Foundation works with Grenoble INP - UGA to enable talented students of all backgrounds to successfully undertake long-term scientific and technological studies. Our scholarship programme has been running since 2010, the year the Foundation was created. It is funded thanks to the patronage of our founders, Grenoble INP alumni and our partners to promote equal opportunities, diversity and contribute to the excellence and influence of the institution.

THE ‘CHALLENGE 1ST IDEA’ SCHOLARSHIP
The Grenoble INP Foundation is launching a new pilot grant programme designed to support entrepreneurial projects led by its students and recent graduates from the very beginning. These projects will benefit from: - technological building blocks from the laboratories in which Grenoble INP – UGA is involved, - the expertise and support of the institute's teacher-researchers. The aim is to encourage the emergence of innovative ideas by giving project leaders the means to explore, structure and develop their initial entrepreneurial intuition.

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
- Applications may be submitted individually or as a group. - The lead project coordinator must be a student at Grenoble INP – UGA and hold national ‘Student-Entrepreneur’ status at the time of application. Other team members are not subject to this requirement.
