Credit Agricole Egypt (CAE) and the French University in Egypt (UFE) have entered into a strategic partnership aimed at bolstering educational opportunities and promoting financial inclusion among students and staff. The alliance underscores UFE’s dedication to providing its students with outstanding prospects and CAE’s pledge to empower the youth and serve various societal sectors.
Scholarships and internships: Empowering youth through education
Under the terms of the agreement, CAE has committed to providing a comprehensive package of benefits to UFE students, including scholarships, internships, and training programmes focused on financial literacy. This initiative is part of CAE’s broader strategy to invest in human capital development, ensuring that students gain valuable skills and experience that can propel them towards successful careers.
Financial services: Enhancing accessibility and convenience
To augment the academic benefits, UFE will utilise CAE’s extensive array of financial products and services to enrich the experiences of students, their parents, and the institution itself. These offerings include youth-specific accounts, education and postgraduate study loans, and streamlined payroll services for university staff. Furthermore, CAE will facilitate online tuition fee payments, making financial transactions more convenient and accessible.
Sustainability and environmental commitment: A joint effort
In line with CAE’s sustainability goals, the bank will evaluate and potentially support environmental initiatives spearheaded by UFE students, especially those associated with Enactus, a non-profit organisation dedicated to fostering entrepreneurial actions that create positive social change. This collaboration not only aids in achieving environmental objectives but also aligns with the institutions’ shared vision of creating a sustainable future.
