The aim of the M’apprendre – Claude Marquet scholarship fund is to facilitate young people’s access to education, culture and the arts

The aim of the ICM Group’s scholarship fund is to facilitate young people’s access to education, culture and the arts in order to guarantee them a promising future and personal fulfilment.

Through this scholarship fund, Claude Marquet also wanted to pass on his passion for entrepreneurship. The heart that needs to be put into the work is the same heart that beats in support of the “M’Apprendre” scholarship fund.

Scholarship fund "M'apprendre"

Claude Marquet had a never-ending thirst for learning, even though access to knowledge was an ordeal during his youth. Thanks to his success, he wanted to make it easier for young people to learn, to enable them to educate themselves and to be freer to shape their future.

The scholarship fund creates educational opportunities, promotes access to culture and broadens artistic horizons. Claude Marquet firmly believed that access to knowledge was the key to freedom for every young person.

The M’Apprendre scholarship fund embodies the unwavering commitment of the ICM Group and the Claude Marquet Family to education, culture and the arts. The Marquet family hopes to extend this mission nationally and internationally to support as many young people as possible.

The ICM Group contributes directly to financing the social and educational support of more than five hundred disadvantaged and deserving children:
“Girls and boys to whom we give the ability to have an education and the conditions to live with dignity and in freedom. Our generosity is our reward” Claude Marquet.

The aim of the ICM Group’s scholarship fund is to facilitate young people’s access to education, culture and the art.

The higher education project :

The aim of the project is to enable young girls who have completed their secondary education in boarding schools to continue their studies in the field best suited to their abilities, and to support them until they enter the world of work in decent living conditions. They receive financial support and socio-educational supervision to help them succeed in their studies.

In July 2022, the 8 girls involved in the project passed their final exams. All have moved up to the next class.
