Scholarships for international students

These international scholarship holders are selected by our local teams. They commit to multi-year academic programs, from bachelor's degrees to doctorates. For example, we finance the Master's degrees of several students from IFP School, a French engineering school specializing in energy and sustainable mobility.
In 2023, the Company financed and supported nearly 200 scholarship students from Angola, Azerbaijan, Brazil, Mozambique, Oman, Rwanda, Uganda etc.
The TotalEnergies Foundation’s commitment to young people
TotalEnergies is convinced that a company must be a committed player, above and beyond its economic, social and societal contribution. The company has therefore chosen to focus its public-interest initiatives primarily on young people, especially the most vulnerable. In France, they are carried out by the TotalEnergies Foundation and contribute to our company's commitment to corporate citizenship.
In 2020, the TotalEnergies Foundation created L'Industreet, a campus dedicated to the industry of the future, in Stains, near Paris. L'Industreet has already welcomed more than 670 young people. This training center for the new professions in industry offers free training and certification, and proposes a pedagogical approach based on “doing in order to learn”. Eventually, it plans to welcome 400 young people aged 18 to 30 per year.
Among other examples of the company's commitment to corporate citizenship in 2023: in Nigeria, the L.E.A.D. Career program aims to expose 1,300 young high school students to career opportunities by meeting employees who share their professional experiences and guide them towards viable career paths. Finally, since 2018, through the Action! employee solidarity commitment program, TotalEnergies employees can devote up to three days a year of their working time to projects of general interest. Action! is deployed in 100 countries and more than 42,000 solidarity actions have been carried out since its launch.
