Goût de France at Château de Ferrières

Introduction

One evening. Three voices. Hundreds of futures supported. The Goût de France event at Château de Ferrières once again brought together donors, partners, and teams from European Business School (EBS) Paris around a vital cause: making higher education accessible to all talents, regardless of their social or financial background.

At the heart of this exceptional evening, three students took the floor to share the concrete impact of scholarships from the GA-Education Endowment Fund. Their words stood as living proof that generosity, when well-directed, truly changes lives.

Three Testimonials, Three Inspiring Journeys

Among the evening’s speakers, Parinaz, a scholarship student at EBS, opened the testimonials with disarming sincerity. Her journey illustrates what each scholarship truly represents: not an abstract financial aid, but the concrete possibility of pursuing a life project.

Clara, a representative from École Ferrières, and Maël, a student from École 89, rounded out the picture by sharing, each in their own way, how the support of an endowment fund can transform a trajectory.

Château de Ferrières: A Prestigious Setting for a Universal Cause

The Château de Ferrières is no ordinary venue. A classified historic monument, it hosts some of France’s most prestigious events each year. Choosing this setting for the Goût de France evening sends a powerful message: academic excellence deserves to be celebrated with the same ambition we expect from the students themselves.

The students of École Ferrières — a school renowned for its excellence in hospitality and gastronomy — were responsible for the service and menu design. A twofold demonstration of expertise: that of the hosts and that of the scholarship recipients.

EBS Paris and the GA-Education Fund: A Concrete Commitment to Equal Opportunity

For EBS Paris, a school accredited by AACSB and EFMD, access to education is a strategic priority. The partnership with the GA-Education Endowment Fund reflects this vision: enabling talent to access world-class education, regardless of financial resources.

Behind every GA-Education scholarship is a story — one of a project that could have ended for lack of funding, and that continues thanks to committed donors.

A Service and Menu That Left a Lasting Impression

Beyond the speeches, it was also the quality of service delivered by students from École Ferrières that captured the guests’ attention. True to their world-class training, every detail — from table settings to menu selection — was crafted to honor guests and deliver an unforgettable experience.

A heartfelt bravo to these future gastronomy and hospitality professionals, who demonstrated that evening that excellence is learned, cultivated, and shared.
