The Dauphine Foundation: Supporting Excellence, Access & Impact
The Dauphine Foundation has played a vital role in shaping the vision and growth of Université Paris Dauphine – PSL, including the development of its London campus in 2014. Since its creation in 2008, the Foundation has supported the university’s most strategic and innovative initiatives—made possible through the generosity of individual and corporate donors.
At Dauphine London, the Foundation actively champions student mobility, equal opportunity, and academic innovation. It funds life-changing scholarships, enriches the student experience, and builds international bridges—making a world-class education not just possible, but accessible to all.
Thanks to them, I was able to fulfill my dream of studying abroad and later pursuing an international career.
I would like to thank the donors of the Dauphine Foundation for giving me the opportunity to experience a unique personal and academic experience that would not have been possible without their help. The scholarship offered by the Dauphine Foundation allowed me to accept the offer of admission, because without it, I would never have had the financial means to go and live abroad and finance the two years of study.

Introducing the Dauphine London Fund
To coincide with the London campus’s 10th anniversary, the Dauphine London Fund was launched - a major step in strengthening the UK presence of Dauphine and widening access for talented students. The Fund was officially introduced during a landmark event hosted in London at the Residence of France under the high patronage of Her Excellency the Ambassador of France to the United Kingdom, Hélène Duchêne,
This fund is essential to supporting campus development and providing exceptional opportunities for our students.
With a goal of raising €1 million over five years, the Fund supports four priority actions with an annual funding plan for each:
Promoting international mobility (€50,000 per year) : We aim to support five students each year for a semester on the London Campus.
Supporting on-campus scholarship students (€50,000 per year) : We aim to award scholarships to 25 students each year to help cover the high cost of living and accommodation in London, allowing them to fully concentrate on their studies.
Enabling students in the Equal Opportunities program to participate in the Summer School (€50,000 per year) : This year, 11 students in the program were able to participate thanks to the Foundation. We aim to extend this opportunity to 15 students per year to help them develop their English and offer them their first experience abroad.
Improving the student experience on campus (€250,000 over 5 years) : from state-of-the-art facilities to alumni engagement and industry collaboration.
