The laureates with David Lisnard / Les lauréats et David Lisnard

The Cannes Award for Educational Excellence was presented on August 21, 2015, by the Mayor of Cannes David Lisnard to the city’s students who excelled in their studies.

While the government has decided to reduce the merit award, David Lisnard, Mayor of Cannes, Vice President of the Alpes-Maritimes Council, responded by awarding the Prix Cannois de l’Excellence Educative (Cannes Award for Educational Excellence). Despite a difficult economic climate when public money is scarce and the tax burden difficult to manage for municipalities, this symbolic act is to prove how important it was to reward and encourage deserving graduates, holders of secondary diplomas.

A scholarship of merit

Today, many students are struggling to finance their higher education. These financial difficulties often weigh in their orientation and in their success in higher education. That is why the Mayor of Cannes wished to maintain and expand the Cannes Award for Educational Excellence. Awarded by the municipality, this prize is a real Graduate Scholarship.
