Club des Bâtisseurs

“HEC Montréal must continue to play a leadership role, and it's crucial for the community to remain open to the world. Through my donation, I am hoping to help many students discover Southeast Asia, a region that remains little known to people in Quebec.”

René Sylvestre, HEC Montréal 1998

The Club des Bâtisseurs was created in 2020 to shine the spotlight on faithful donors and newcomers to the Foundation who share a commitment to helping HEC Montréal fulfill its mission of excellence and lead the way as one of the world’s top business schools.

The generosity of the members of the Club des Bâtisseurs makes it possible to provide students with a world-class learning environment so they can achieve their full potential and become successful leaders and managers.

Each member pledges to give $25,000 or more to HEC Montréal over a 10-year horizon.

An even greater impact for our community

IMPROVE THE CAMPUS EXPERIENCE

The generosity of our donors makes it possible to make a wider range of digital tools available to students, improve our study facilities and enhance library resources.

FUND RESEARCH PROGRAMS

Donations have a ripple effect that helps spark innovation and foster the transfer of knowledge to real-world applications. They contribute directly to grooming a new generation of experts and in spreading information outside of academic circles.

AWARD SCHOLARSHIPS

Regardless of the type of scholarship, these contributions change lives by opening up new academic pathways, fostering advances in research, cultivating entrepreneurship projects and enabling students to take part in international competitions and exchanges.

SUPPORT THE DOWNTOWN BUILDING

The Hélène-Desmarais building in the heart of downtown Montreal is a hub of expertise and interaction with the business community. The location makes it easier to connect with executives and professionals, encourages the transfer of knowledge and spurs joint innovation with the School’s partners. This initiative has a positive impact on students, the business community and Quebec society as a whole.

Bruno Hébert-Lévesque

“I’m proud and grateful to have received a scholarship that will help ease some of the financial pressure I’m under because of the intensive nature of the program I’m in. It will help me stay focused on my studies and my family.”

Bruno Hébert-Lévesque, MBA student
