Student Solidarity Awards

The Student Solidarity Awards are set in a corporate patronage framework. The projects submitted must therefore be community-oriented and non-profit. Contrary to sponsoring operations, the project must not expect any commercial counterpart related to the grant amount.

The scope corresponds to the three major areas of action of the Veolia Environnement Foundation: outreach (development aid, helping children and other vulnerable groups), workforce development (business activity, counselling and training) and environmental conservation (preserving biodiversity, education and awareness-raising).  

The Student Solidarity Awards only support projects sponsored by Veolia Environnement employees.

Every project leader is therefore asked to identify a "sponsor" among the group's 350,000 employees throughout the world, ideally (but not necessarily) related to the thematic and geographic positioning of the project concerned. To improve the chances of the project being selected, the sponsor can write a short testimony in support of the project in the grant application.
